, Eric Lewis, a ectionately known as ELEW, I was born on June 8, 2001, in Oak Park, Illinois to Eric Lewis Sr. and Wanda Smith. I was the youngest of three siblings by my mom. I grew up in Oak Park, IL and I had a good life growing up there where I met some amazing people along the way. I graduated from Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park Illinois. I got great grades some semesters and some I didn’t. I MADE THE BASKETBALL TEAM. I FINALLY MADE THE TEAM LOL! at was the greatest day of my life, for-real-for-real. I cried like a baby that day, and even fell to the oor in disbelief-LOL. I was on the best team with my best friend Dashon Enoch, who was the best player on the varsity team all 4 years. If you don’t believe me- do your research on him. I wanted to be an amazing Ball player, so my mom used her connects and set me up to have one on one basketball sessions with the legendary Ronnie Fields, Mc Donald’s All American from Farragut High School in Chicago. A er High School, I attended Kennedy King College to play basketball and majored in media. I later attended Northern Illinois University (NIU) and most recently, I was enrolled at DePaul University majoring in Liberal Arts and Writing. As you can see, I loved school because education was very important to me. I was the CEO of Rose Records alongside my business partner Al Beck. I also created a clothing line LewGang. I was an author. I wrote a book about creating generational wealth. Although I didn’t get a chance to get it published, my family has the blueprint and will complete that assignment for me. I was a Boss and I took care of business. Just so you know, I am a little famous- not trying to brag, but I really was. I was YOUTUBE famous, (IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, LOL) alongside my mom Wanda. My fans really loved her. On occasion, she would get on camera with me to do mom react videos. I went from 100 subscribers to 35k subscribers in 90 days. She was known to the people as “Momma Gigi” or “Titi Gigi”, or it’s your girl “Gigi”. Gigi was her street name- check out my program and look for mom. She even went to Texas and some fans recognized her- so she took a picture with them; see we were a dynamic duo. My grandmother Nana, she is my favorite girl in the whole wide world- she was a special guest on my program and they loved her to. I was the master prankster and loved pranking and scaring my family and friends.
