Lee lives and breathes music. It is an essential ingredient of his life.
It is how he can express his thoughts and ideas, through one of the
most accessible forms of art.
To be able to share his artistic views in songwriting, and perform
the same songs to an audience is a great adventure. One that takes
Lee to many varied venues and locations in Australia, and with the
aid of his recordings his music reaches the overseas market. The
early part of this journey has taken Lee to many festivals, where he
has been awarded for his hard work.
In 2002 he won the Male Section of the Victorian Champion of
Champions, held in Mildura. The song that was performed was
called Dreamer. This was a tribute to his songwriting ability, and
was the first song he wrote in a country genre.
Lee continues to refine his songwriting and recordings to reflect
what he is trying to achieve in his music. Lee hopes that each song
can be captured so the listener can follow the journey he is on.
Both musically and personally.
He has also traveled to Tamworth, the heart of Australian country
music. During this time he enjoyed the company of great performers,
and had amazing feedback on his own performances.
The band Outback Overdrive creates the back-bone of his songs.
Musicians who continue to grow and learn with Lee on his musical
journey. They frequently play for charity shows for the Royal Flying
Doctor Service , and the Cancer Foundation.
Outback Overdrive most recently won an award at the Barmera
Music Festival when they competed in the band section. As
individual artists they have received many awards , and are highly
regarded in the industry.
Lee shows his versatility not only through the band work, but also
with his duets with Ben Furnell. They are both respected for their
vocals and harmonies. This format of music allows for a more
intimate atmosphere, between the artists and the listeners.
Lee endeavors to create music that can continue to change and
grow, in the same way his own life does.
