Hearing Leslie
In conversation with Lesle Lewis, more popular as Leslie Lewis, the well-known artiste who has started his own music academy.
Forever exploring new pastures, Lesle has recently started an academy in Mumbai to give upcoming musicians an entry into the music industry.
What prompted this multi-faceted musician to start a musical academy? Reflects the man, who started the trend of remixes in India with Asha Bhosle, ���India has a huge talent pool of musicians. The aim of my academy is to help serious musicians to spend time and invest in their career.��� One significant reason why he started the academy is his dissatisfaction with the quality of music in the industry. ���The quality of content has gone down. Nowadays, it is easy for any musician to sound good. You can retune an artiste���s voice, giving a better pitch by using the latest software.
Also, not many original compositions are being made.��� Lesle is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that his pupils develop into fine musicians. ���The academy is giving them the opportunity to work with the cr��me de la cr��me of the industry. It is a win-win situation for me as well. As a producer, I can select the best musicians and, as a composer, I get to interact with rising stars of tomorrow,��� he says matter-of factly.
Lesle is in love with Pune, too, which he visits whenever he can. ���Music has a strong place in Pune. You have a lot of live performances, and that is most important for any musician. The musical scenario in Pune is very cultured. You learn so much in Pune as far as music is concerned,��� he says. Not many would disagree with that observation.
