About Me

Hey, I'm Lee and I'm a professional musician/songwriter. I've been gigging for the past decade as a drummer, guitarist, bassist and more recently as a vocalist. I graduated from Mohawk College's Applied Music program (jazz guitar) in Canada a few years back and since then I've just been travelling round the world and playing music.

When I left Canada I spent a fair bit of time working as a bassist on cruise ships (or floating asylum's as I like to call them). When that got old I decided to move to Edinburgh, Scotland where I pretty much just spent my time marvelling at the architecture and writing music.

For the past two years I've been living in London, England. I've played with some really good musicians in that time, but I've recently decided to focus my attention on my rocksteady/soul band called The Delegators.

We've been gigging all over Europe and the UK which helps keep my incessant need to travel at bay, plus reggae drumming is pretty much my favourite thing to do, so it's working out well!

What free time I have I spend writing songs for my personal project that I call "The Escape Ladder". I don't know if I'll ever have the time or money to record an album myself or put a live band together, but it's nice to have an outlet.
