About Me

Lee has been playing the guitar for 4 years now, ever since returning from Uni he fancied playing the acoustic guitar...Well apparently he wanted to play since the age of 10. Since learning to play Lee has become a music fanatic, listening to all sorts from all around the world. I love to write songs he says, not in just one way, but in different styles and fashions. I pretty much write how I feel (Happy = bouncy) (Sad = chilled). The songs on this page are the first tracks Lee recorded as demos, with more time, and more experience, his music has matured and become more known through out London. He is currently working on a new set of songs for release at the end of 2006 / early 2007. Keep tuned for updates on the release.
Now described by Don Blandford "Essex Chronicle" as an oustanding performer, he has gone far in such little time, and more is to come !
Lee's Comments:-
I would love to say I am a songwriter, but I am not sure when I can officially say that, in the meantime I write songs mostly for myself, but also for other people, including Ethers Air and echotone which is my band I have been in for, for a few years now. Visit our site to see what we are up to...plenty of gigs for Summer 06!
There are many people who work hard on the structure of their songs, and chord progression, and many who don't. I don't like to tie myself down with a certain way of writing my songs, this is usually determined by my current mood and the way my guitar hums.
Many of my songs have meaning, but then, some don't. I like to leave that for those who listen, to have their chance to make out what it's about. Because in the end, its each individuals interpretation that makes a song isn't it?? I think so...
