The Bill Lee Band

A lover of Oreo cookies, Spike Lee joints, Nip/Tuck and Charlie Parker, the owner of MyCDparty.com takes no prisoners on his journey to travel the world and share his music/performance skills through inspiration and loving desperation.…As he approaches the stage, the applause builds and the energy in the room awaits another spontaneous performance at BB Kings in Nashville, Tennessee from an artist who has created a buzz for himself not only through his talent but by something that cannot be duplicated: his personality.“My personality comes across no matter what on stage,” says Bill Lee. “…I can’t help it! I’m pretty much always a class clown. So once I’m on stage, the audiences are my students, I am the teacher, so you know it’s gonna be a hell of a lesson. Ha…”Bill Lee started taking his music seriously in 2005 when he made a commitment to release his debut CD Who Is Bill Lee? The CD has sold close 5000 copies on the independent level and no distribution with almost a third of the sales being in Europe.As a trained actor, Bill Lee marks the stage as his home and continues to travel extensively with Motivations Inc. performing in the musical When a Man Loves A Woman. “Acting really gives me an edge as a performer…it’s the discipline that claims the audience’s attention so they follow your every move,” Bill Lee says.Named after both of his grandfathers, Bill Miles and Lee Guthrie, Bill Lee credits his upbringing by his family for his love for music. “When traveling my parents always played Anita Baker, Whitney Houston and Take 6 in the car. By the time I was in high school, I knew every Take 6 song, who arranged it, wrote it, thunk it…I was the only college student at Fisk University riding down the street ‘bumping’ Take 6’s Spread Love.”Bill Lee created the Bill Lee Band in January 2007 with the idea to incorporate his dedicated musician friends in his journey of musical growth and ambition. The band not only plays for Bill Lee performances but plays as an independent band when requested.Bill Lee’s 2nd CD Release is due AUGUST 2007 and is titled Will Sing 4 Food .” It’s anticipation is high especially through inquiries on Lee’s company, MyCDparty.com – an online indie CD music store selling and promoting music globally. The store has given independent musicians exposure all over the world and is promoted by a spin off show produced by Bill Lee called TheCDparty LIVE! These shows now take place in Nashville, Murfreesboro, Memphis and Atlanta with plans for shows to occur monthly in Chicago, Miami and New York. With a bright future ahead Bill Lee plans to continue to nurture his musical and performance talent while creating more opportunities for musicians like himself globally. “The world is becoming smaller. We can now reach more people much faster than before. My aim is to continue to create inspirational music with a funky beat so folks will listen and hopefully I can make the world a more prosperous place to groove and be original in in the process.”
