Eki Shola (Eh-key sounds like Becky without the B, Show-lah): I am a gift from God. Seriously, that is the meaning of Eki. Truthfully, I was a little deflated when 20+ years later I traveled to Japan and kept seeing “Eki” at every train stop. Eki means station in Japanese.
Born in London and given a Nigerian name by Jamaican parents, we later emigrated to New York in the late 1980s. I feel that Jamaica is my cultural roots; London the place where I remember my childhood memories; and New York City the place that offered amazing gritty life adventures. For now, California is my current abode – a beautiful place with an abundance of glorious weather.
My main love is music and as a pianist and singer, I enjoy sharing my music with others. As a solo artist, I composed, produced, and released my debut album, Final Beginning, on August 20, 2016. September 2020 marked the completion of the Pieces trilogy (the first album, Possible, was released on 2/22/19, Drift on 11/11/19, and finally, Essential on 9/9/20). Stay posted for the release of my upcoming fifth solo album.

The Lee Vandeveer Band brings a wide variety of musical and
artistic influences together to create a rockin’ sound that blend’s elements of blues, psychedelic rock and elements of jazz into a powerful bundle that gets your body moving.

Lee Vandeveer’s songs and lyrics invite the listener on a journey through biographical tales of joy, sorrow and defiance. A musical landscape that explores the tangle of love, longing and loss. Lee’s vocals are delivered with the power and honesty of someone who’s lived it.
