LEMEK
is a young accomplished guitar player from Louisiana who first picked up the guitar when he was 5 years old. He is a diverse player with a wide array of influences some including Charlie Parra, Syu (Galneryus), Stevie Ray Vaughan, and above all his dad Quintin Gerard W. who is an amazing jazz saxophonist. He grew up at a young age listening to a lot of funk and R&B, but as he got older, he started listening to a lot more technical music such as prog-metal, power metal, jazz fusion, and even classical. Some of his favorite modern artists are Billie Eilish, Post Malone, and Zedd.
LEMEK
lives in the New Orleans area and has played in many bands which have had many performances in the city. At the moment, he’s currently a solo artist and in the process of working on his debut album that will be released in the early part of 2023 (hopefully the new ROKIT G4 and Epiphone guitar will help that cause 😉).

goals are to continue making music and hopefully one-day compose music for video games or movies. “I get awestruck when I listen to my favorite movie themes or soundtracks and they inspire me to write more and continue coming up with new creative ideas.”
