Details:
Ezekiel discovered his passion for songwriting shortly after picking up his mother''s guitar at age 14 in Ketchikan, Alaska. Having been raised in a family of five aboard a 48'' metal-hulled sailboat, his nomadic upbringing between Alaska and Mexico with his missionary dad greatly influenced what later became his trademark, sea-gypsy style. His mother, a folk/gospel musician, performed in churches as his family traveled from port to port. And in the evenings before putting Ezekiel to sleep, his mom would improvise songs and encourage him to help with the lyrics. His father, a salt-blooded, deep-sea salvage technician, taught him about the ocean, giving him the tools needed to survive outside the mainstays of modern society. Through his music today, Ezekiel creates a glimpse into the world of a true free spirit.
At his shows, Ezekiel is known for sharing stories from his diverse life experiences traveling and working on the water. He has sailed thousands of miles in some of the most challenging conditions. While writing his music, he worked as a Hard-Hat diver, a welder and even studied Nuclear Physics in the Navy. While recording and writing, he built his own steel sailboat with hopes to someday sail to the Antarctic.
His musical career began at 15 years old when his talent was discovered by the Seattle-based band, Archangel. Playing guitar in this group began his performing experience as they traveled through the small towns around Washington State. When the band finally split up, he began to perform and write solo. He studied finger-style techniques used by Chet Atkins and Alex De Grassi while attending music composition classes through the University of Nebraska. He quickly became interested in piano, drums, and a variety of ethnic instruments.
At 20 years old, he finished his first commercially-released album, working out of a makeshift studio he built on an island in Alaska. The album immediately received airplay and media attention. His most recent and ninth album, "Under the Sun" was written and recorded at sea on his 40'' steel sloop while traveling down the West coast of America. It''s currently receiving daily radio airplay and being featured in newspaper articles around the San Francisco Bay area.
Ezekiel''s lyrical style bravely goes to the heart with a disarming honesty that challenges the listener to become part of the show. In songs such as "Misplaced my Medication", "Drops of water", and "Patriot Jake", Ezekiel cuts through with a salty voice, expressing the human drama from an uncommon, yet strangely familiar perspective. And for anyone who has ever dreamed of running away from it all, this is a voice that strikes the soul.
