Lee grew up in Mount Prospect, Illinois, and, at a very young age, would obsess over folk-
pop artists such as Simon & Garfunkel and Cat Stevens. Some of his earliest memories are
staring out the window, imagining he was inside the world of his favorite songs. Lee knew
he was destined to be a songwriter, and, by the age of 17, he was a professional musician,
touring, recording, and earning regional radio spins.
His career took a massive turn in 2010 when he won the ninth season of American
Idol. The honor offered a boost in exposure to an artist already two-albums deep in a
promising career. Post-Idol, Lee’s profile has skyrocketed as his songwriting has earned
impressive sync placements. His breakout moment was penning “Blackbird Song” for the
hit horror AMC series The Walking Dead. Since that track’s release in 2014, it has accrued
over 12 million YouTube views, over 6 million streams on Spotify, and has sold over
100,000 copies, putting it in the Top 10 of 2014’s most influential music syncs.
