biography
Born and raised in Sumter, South Carolina, Lee began writing his own songs when he was about ten or, as he puts it, "when I could start picking them out on the piano". In 2001 on a trip to Nashville Lee met Lisa Johnson, wife of record producer Doug Johnson. She scheduled a fifteen minute meeting for him with Doug that ended up lasting four hours. When Doug became head of A&R for Curb's Asylum label, he offered Lee a publishing contract and, ultimately, a record deal.
Lee has quickly gained a solid reputation in the Nashville songwriting community and has had cuts by several artists including Jason Aldean, Cowboy Crush and Keith Gattis. He's even stretched beyond Music Row with "Beautiful High" written for the rock group Sister Hazel, with Stan Lynch of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers and Hazel's own Drew Copeland as his co-writers.
His sound is as true and unique as his musical heroes who range from Garth and Hank Jr. to Coldplay and John Mayer. Lee Brice's goal is to make a positive impact on the music industry and chances are, he will.
