Classically trained Lee has had an impressive musical career spanning over two decades. He is the former frontman for the now defunct WA band Spencer Tracy with whom he supported the likes of You Am I, Ron Sexsmith, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Super Furry Animals and Veruca Salt, just to name a few. Having released an album and numerous Eps with Spencer Tracy, Lee has received national airplay on all major radio stations – including reaching Number 1 on Triple J’s Net 50 countdown with his single “Ocean” in 2002.

In 2006 he won a WAMI (West Australian Music Industry) Award for “Best Live Electronic Act” with his electro band Astronaut. In 2007 Lee, along with Luke Steele and Malcolm Clark, was awarded the trophy for “Best Original Music Composition”, for his work on the score for the film Ableman’s Final Account at the annual WA Screen Awards.

Lee was mentored by world renowned classical pianist Roger Woodward, and has performed his original classical compositions at the Sydney Opera House. He was invited to study classical piano and composition at the prestigious San Francisco State University.

Lee joined Perth avant-garde rock outfit The Sleepy Jackson on lead guitar and keys in March 2006. In mid-2007, he joined Eskimo Joe’s touring band playing piano, slide guitar, lap steel guitar and both acoustic and electric guitars. Lee has toured extensively and has played countless national and international festivals including The Big Day Out, Falls Festival, Blues ‘n’ Roots, Southbound, In The City (Manchester UK) and CMJ (New York).

Lee’s television appearances include live performances on Rove, Hey Hey It’s Saturday, and Sunrise.

In addition, Lee has also played the annual G’day USA Gala in New York (where Eskimo Joe was introduced onstage by John Travolta and Bindi Irwin) and the Sound Relief concert which was staged to aid the victims of the Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria and Queensland floods in 2009. He also played with Eskimo Joe at the Live Earth concert held in 2007, which was televised worldwide. In 2011 Lee left Eskimo Joe to concentrate on his own musical endeavour, The Sun Orchestra, with whom he toured nationally in support of The Basement Birds and released a self-tilted EP.

Since 2013 Lee has played guitar with Ruby Boots, completing numerous national tours and recording an album which was released in April 2015.

In 2014 Lee was nominated for the WAMI “Best Guitarist” Award.
