Eric Lewis (pianist) children: Does Eric Lewis (ELEW) have kids? – There is no information on the offspring of popular pianist Eric Lewis (ELEW) on the internet (ELEW). ELEW has not spoken about his personal life, thus determining whether or not he has children is tough.

ELEW was born in 1973 in Camden, New Jersey, and played piano as a child.

He matriculated from Overbrook High School in 1991 and subsequently attended the Manhattan School of Music on a Full Merit Scholarship, where he graduated on the Dean’s List in 1995.

Soon after, he began touring with Wynton Marsalis and Cassandra Wilson.

As a solo album deal fell through, ELEW became disillusioned with the jazz scene and set out to forge his own route to fame.

In 2009, ELEW received his first taste of public exposure when he performed two songs, a version of Evanescence’s “Going Down” and an original composition, as a featured speaker at the Long Beach TED Conference.

ELEW developed his unique style, which has helped him gain a wide following of celebrity fans, including Barack and Michelle Obama (for whom he has performed at the White House), Leonardo DiCaprio, Donna Karan, Téa Leoni, David Duchovny, Hugh Jackman, Forest Whitaker, and Gerard Butler.

ELEW is known for his unconventional and physical playing style, which eschews a piano bench and includes reaching inside the piano lid to pull at the strings directly, as well as the creation that he calls “Rockjazz”, a genre that “takes the improvisational aspect of jazz and ‘threads it through the eye of the needle of rock.’”
