His Voice , his charm, his
charisma....will seduce you
Louis Martineau (Lewis Martin)
Easy listening, a romantic style of delivery, a unique voice and a touch of
class best describes Louis Martineau, a versatile recording artist and
performer whose vocal impressions evoke the styles of some of the greatest
singers of the past
Born in Quebec City, Canada, the young French Canadian was easily influenced
by the classic big band era, the king of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley and
the legendary American Crooners such as Engelbert Humperdinck, Dean Martin,
Sammy Davis Jr. to name a few.
At the age of 16, Lewis had formed his first band which gave him the
confidence and experience to perform at various events and concerts. This
was the stepping stone which later gave him recognition as a professional
for his outstanding performances winning a first prize award as an “Elvis
Presley” vocalist in Quebec, Canada. Later, he won first prize for “Best
Male Vocalist/Performer” at the prestigious “Talent America Contest”, in
Palm Springs, California.

How would one describe Lewis, "Take the sensitivity and phrasing of a lyric,
the tone quality and intonation of all the great crooners of the past, and
that's Louis. Although there may be hundreds of singers out there, few have
the ability to touch our musical souls as does Lewis. He is truly the voice
and crooner for this new century. His dreamy romantic style will touch your
heart as he takes you to the nostalgia of the classics. Seldom does a voice
like this come along".
Lewis has gained respect and a reputation over the last 25 years performing
at many venues across the United States and Canada. His skillful and array
of talents have enticed audiences from Las Vegas, Florida to Montreal and
Niagara Falls, Ontario. Many of Lewis’s accomplishments include his first
album, “If I Can Dream” recorded in 1990 followed by his second album
“Flashback” Las Vegas” recorded in 1993. Both albums were recorded and
produced at Poker Recording Studio in Laval, Quebec, Canada.
Lewis displays a wide variety of style and class along with his unique voice
and is often called by many in the Showbiz Industry as a “Musical
Phenomenon.” The drive and determination along with his natural vocal
ability has enabled Lewis to perform an impressive range of classic
standards which are recognized by his polished performances.

Lewis’s proclaims his success is based on “his love for music”. As far back
as he can remember, Lewis states, “music has always influenced my life”.
“For me songs are so much more than words and music: they are feelings, they
are passion, they are smells that remind you of someone, they are that place
between sleep and dream, they are a moment to leave everything behind, but
more importantly, they are a time to remember”. Today, Lewis is able to
capture his audience with emotion while performing the great songs of
yesterday.
It is true that behind every successful man there is an exceptional woman.
For the past eighteen years Lewis states he could not have achieved many of
his goals or dreams without the assistance and encouragement from his
devoted wife Sara. In honor of her continual support and endless “Love”,
Lewis is dedicating all of his cherished CD’s to her.
A very special thank you goes out to his life supporting and loving parents
Alice & Jules Martineau for all their assistance and encouragement
throughout his musical career. Lewis would like to dedicate his music to all
the millions of Elvis' fans worldwide who share the same love and admiration
for the "King’s unforgettable music & unique style.
Finally, Lewis thanks Ray Bonin of RBA Records Mastering & Recording Studio,
Niagara Falls, Canada, for his highly professional engineering skills and
for producing his latest CDs.
