ELEW Plays STING

Virtuoso
pianist Eric Lewis—better known as ELEW—reimagines Sting’s iconic songs through
his electrifying Rockjazz style. A native of Camden, New Jersey, he began piano
studies at age two and went on to earn the Rodgers and Hammerstein full merit
scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music before launching an acclaimed
career that spans jazz and beyond. With signature techniques like Counterbop
and Rockjazz, ELEW brings new harmonic depth and improvisational fire to
Sting’s catalog.

Known
for his intense, theatrical performances, he frequently plays standing up and
incorporates percussive techniques directly inside the piano.

So
impressed by his artistry, Sting invited ELEW to open his My Songs 3.0 Tour
after hearing him perform in a Manhattan club.
