Latin-Soul singer Lester Rey grew up in Chicago’s Humboldt Park and began his musical journey playing congas in church. Equally inspired by his Puerto-Rican musical heritage – the sounds of Bomba, Rumba, Boogaloo and Reggaeton, as well as contemporary influences of Hip Hop, Footwork and Trap, Lester has found a unique voice to express himself artistically and address global issues like justice, peace and equality.
