BIOGRAPHY

 Introduced to music at an early age and encouraged by his late father to refine his craft, Stanley “Mellif” Lewis is creating a musical menagerie of sweet sounds that embody healing and constructive thoughts for the mind. A masterful writer and saxophonist with great promise, Stanley is making his mark with his debut album, “It’s All about Love”- a compilation of several original songs that instantly captivates the listener as their consciousness is whisked away on a musical journey. Stanley abandoned all precedent forging his trail and creating music he describes as soulful and conscious.

Stanley was born in Akron, Ohio where he began playing the saxophone in the fifth grade. He was drawn to the healing properties of music and the endless melodic possibilities that the saxophone offers. In addition to the alto sax, he also plays the tenor sax, rhythm and bass guitars, keyboards, drums and piano.
Stanley’s catalog includes covers from some of his favorite musical influences, such as Earth, Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Mos Def. His smooth jazz cover of Teena Marie and Allen McGrier’s 1988 smash hit, “Ooo La La La” is a single on his latest project.

Stanley’s kaleidoscope of soundscapes is gaining attention among his followers. His smooth vibe and musical presence is growing momentum. Stanley’s music is vibrant, soulful and healing.

Ready to introduce his sound to a wider audience,  Stanley is a tenor saxophonist on the rise. He strives to elevate pleasant, nourishing and soothing vibrations  to the human ear. Stanley’s goal is to create  conscious music that connects, inspires, uplifts and heals the human spirit.

Stanley’s musical brain-child is Enjoying This Breath Productions. The DNA of his production company is two-fold: the listener enjoys the good vibrations as Stanley breathes into his woodwind instrument and reminds each human to value every breath that escapes from their being as they live life to the fullest.
