After high school, Lee, now 25, moved to Los Angeles and found songwriting gigs drawing on inspiration from the likes of Justin Timberlake, John Mayer, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. He got his big break in 2018 when his band’s “The Wolf” was included in the soundtrack of the major motion picture “Fifty Shades Freed.” The band also released the single “Kissing Tree” around the same time.
