In 2016 he relocated from Nashville back to New York City and had his own music production space in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY where several feature length and short film scores were conceived, many pieces of music were written and many tracks were mixed or produced.
In 2015 he relocated from Brooklyn to Nashville, TN where he had a room at the old Quad Studios building (now Round Hill Music) where Marti Frederikson (Aerosmith producer) is a co-owner. Lee worked with a vast number of talented local and international writers here and positioned himself as a local non-dance alternative electronic producer. There were many interesting collaborations, including an album with Angel Snow called "Magnetic" & his own producer album GRØVVES showcasing brand new material written with his diverse US based collaborators.
In 2013 he relocated from Sydney, Australia to Brooklyn, NY and took a room for two years at Crosby Collective in Soho where he met and recorded with a large number of music makers including David Kahne & Ashton Parsons and it was here where Gold & The Invisible Girl was conceived, the track "Our Love's Gold" ending up on an ABC promo.
In 2007 he relocated from London to Sydney, Australia and had a studio at Level 7 Studios owned by Daniel Jones from Savage Garden. In his studio he produced Bertie Blackman's ARIA Award winning "Secrets & Lies" album. He also wrote and produced tracks with many artists including production of a seminal album with artist Emma Hewitt, mixed by Alan Moulder & Dave Bascombe. He also made an album with indigenous Australian artist Tjupurru containing contributions from 5 Grammy Award winning musicians including Don Grusin, Charlie Bisharat, Jeff Coffin and Bobby Singh.
In 2011, 2012 & 2013 Lee was the music mentor for the Qantas Spirit Of Young Australia Awards and he was on the judging panel for the Australian Music Prize 2012 in addition to making an appearance at Song Summit 2012 as a songwriting mentor.
In 2003 Lee worked alongside Mark "Spike" Stent at his MixSuite, Olympic Studios in London for several years. This award winning work included Gwen Stefani, Depeche Mode, Marilyn Manson, Janet Jackson, Craig David, Goldfrapp, Elbow, Dave Matthews, Beck and Black Eyed Peas to name but a few. He also produced the music for Janet Jackson's Superbowl Halftime show. Around this time Lee became a founding member of Hex Orchestra and created an album "Human Experiments", a collaboration with guitarist Mark Altekruse and drummer Pete Marett with guests including Sting's guitarist Dominic Miller and Vernon Reid from Living Colour. One of the Hex Orchestra tracks appeared as the title sequence in the movie "Revenge Of The Green Dragons" executively produced by Martin Scorsese. Tracks from this album are regularly used on TV & film.
In 1996, Lee was one of the founder members of UK record label PuSH Recordings, where he produced & wrote under many artist names, most notably Terminalhead with co-producer & drummer Pete Marett & front man mountain Spencer Graham (Dreadzone). They were rarely out of the breaks charts with their remixes and were also a live act that played at most major European festivals of the time including Glastonbury three times. Terminalhead also made 'Underfire', a collection of their own sounds that ended up on records as diverse as Garbage's 2.0 album, Yello, Batman Forever soundtrack and albums by Gary Numan and Crystal Method. For 3 years, they had a DJ residency at John Digweed's Bedrock club at Heaven, London and also at London's now defunct Turnmills club.
In 1990 Lee programmed the critically acclaimed International Gold Series of sound cards for a large range of synthesizers and those sounds were used by artists as diverse as Vangelis, Paul Hardcastle, Talk Talk and the Pet Shop Boys amongst many others. He was then instrumental in setting up and making content for AMG including projects with Fatboy Slim / Norman Cook, Coldcut, Pascal Gabriel, drum sample CDs with Steve White, Neil Conti, Miles Bould, Dave Ruffy, Danny Cummings, Phil Gould, Keith Le Blanc & Talvin Singh. Lee also developed personal sample library products with Vince Clarke and JJ Jeczalik from Art Of Noise, amongst many others. Lee was also working creatively with Emulator, Akai, Roland, Apple, Technics and Casio to help develop, record and program sounds and demos for their new products and Lee is still a VIP Beta Tester for Apple for their Logic X software. Around this time he composed critically acclaimed music for "XS", "Duke Nukem: The Manhattan Project" and the multi million unit selling "Carmageddon".
In 1989 Lee quit further education to pursue a career in music.
In 1979 - at the age of 8 - Lee started his love affair with music by walking up to a Bontempi Electronic Organ in UK department store "Debenhams" and playing it. After being brought up in a house where his Dad's eclectic taste in music shaped his life forever, Lee was always writing and composing music throughout his schooling and got heavily into MIDI and sequencers as soon as he could.
