From his Facebook page…
My name is Lewis Mokler. I’m a 21 year old singer-songwriter from Newmarket, Suffolk who loves to play music, anywhere and everywhere!
Over the past two years I have recorded a number of records, reached #6 with my debut album ‘Fingertips’ and #4 with my EP ‘Skybound’ in the iTunes singer songwriter chart. I’m currently gigging all over the UK, and have met some amazing people along the way who continue to support me on my journey.

“It takes a hell of a chap to win a Band Competition armed only with an acoustic guitar, but then BurySOUND 2011 Winner and Newmarket native Lewis Mokler is not your average chap. Inspired to start writing songs by his hero Ed Sheeran, Lewis’ DIY determination and effortless charm has seen him amass a huge following in just a few short months; the safe money is on 2012 being Year of the Mokler.” • Neil & Seymour (Washing Machine)
