For Kareem Lewis music is life

Kareem ‘cKush’ Lewis’s latest song “Another Day” has been blowing up the airwaves on 94.1 Boom FM and 98.1 Hot FM since its release last month. The artiste rose to fame after his song “Karma (Ease Off)” hit Facebook sometime last year resulting in more than a thousand shares which led to airplay.

Kareem’s career blossomed from drama while he attended Central High School. “I was a part of the Drama Club at school and we’d perform at concerts. We had two sirs [male teachers] pushing us, they were Sir Colin Haynes and Sir Roderick Gordon. I told Sir Colin one day that I could write, and he encouraged me to do a Calypso song to perform at the concert; in fact, it was time like now, preparing for Mashramani. With the help of two friends we wrote our pieces then made it into a song and sang it,” the young singer said during a sit down with The Scene.

That concert was the first time Kareem sang on stage; he had acted before, but he said singing was different.
