About Me

Lekules sound is as lyrical and unique as his name. Lekule credits his Tanzanian father, whom he never met, for his one and only name and his sense of destiny. The depth and scope of Lekules creative vision characterizes a man in search of his roots. Today his gritty soulful voice and music are integrally woven with 80s Funk & 70s Rock as heard in the ditty "diggit... (DirtyDistraction)." Rhythm Hip-Hop and Blues drive Lekules passionate delivery of "Babe Cousin", which is an open appeal to one of his close relatives.Emerging from the etymology of his name, Believer of the Spirit Within, Lekule believes each day his dreams (just as everyone elses) are to be lived and fulfilled. Finally Lekule has come full circle to what he loves and does the best, writing, singing, and performing. With the intent of a Piped-Piper, Lekule creates songs to effect positive change in the world which can be heard in his trademark song "B4 2 L8."
