Lebo Morake, commonly known as Lebo M, is a South African composer most famous for arranging and performing music for The Lion King movies and stage productions. He was recommended to Disney by Hans Zimmer, the score composer of The Lion King, and was later permitted to form and conduct the choir that sang for the movies. His voice is the first voice we hear in the beginning of the film, calling "Nants Ingonyama" over the images. He also contributed to the sequel to the film's soundtrack Rhythm of the Pride Lands and the film's direct-to-video sequel The Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
