LEK - a short biography...

LEK writes rock and acoustic music, as well as poetry, at home or around the world during his many backpacking travels. The lyrics and poetry embody life and spirituality, philosophy, travel to distant lands, and stream of consciousness graphic imagery. LEK sings and plays all of the instruments on his albums, and records, mixes, and masters everything – often on oversized analog tape machines which he painstakingly aligns and cares for, mixing and mastering using analog hardware. He is also an artist - all of his albums were produced and hand drawn by him. He has also designed this and previous incarnations of this website - hope you can feel the immediacy and warmth of it. After a few years of composing and performing, LEK moved to the fairy tale hills north of San Francisco to continue his art. He later embarked on the first of several world travels, spending nearly a year in India and Thailand (where a crinkly old Thai food cart owner lovingly bestowed upon him the nickname ‘LEK’). He eventually came back to the USA in the New York area, where he lovingly devotes himself to the arts and pursuit of truth.
