Mewsic is very privileged to have Lesle Lewis, a stalwart of the Indian Music scene, as one of its Advisory Board. “This is a great opportunity for me to give something back and play a role in introducing music into the lives of disadvantaged kids who can really benefit from the power of music.” He said.
Popularly known as ‘Lezz’ in the industry, Lesle Lewis is one of the very first Indian composers to have introduced the Indian audiences to rock and pop music. Lesle’s creative side comes as an inherited value from his father, P L Raj, noted choreographer from the film industry. He is renowned as half the duo ‘Colonial Cousins’ and has been instrumental in forging new genres of music in India, including fusion. He was also the recent Musical Director for India’s first ‘Coke Studio’.
As a child, Lesle was greatly influenced by the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and with futher working on his musical capabilities bagged the opportunity of recording with renowned music directors such as Kalyanji Anandji, Laxmikant Pyarelal, R. D. Burman, Viju Shah, Vanraj Bhatia, Khayam, Anu Malik and Louis Banks.
By giving audiences a taste of varied music flavours, Lesle has been successful in keeping his originality intact with advertisement jingles, film music and other forms of modern music.
Lesle advises Mewsic on all things related to ‘music’ and plays a valuable role in connecting the Foundation to the music industry in India.
