After learning to play keyboards at the age of 8, Lee began his love affair with music. In 1990 he programmed the critically acclaimed International Gold Series of sound cards for a large range of synthesizers, including Korg M & T series, Roland D-Series, Kawai and Ensoniq VFX which were used by artists as diverse as Vangelis, Paul Hardcastle, Talk Talk and the Pet Shop Boys.

Lee was then involved in setting up and producing content for the UK’s most respected sample CD organisation AMG and went on to co-produce, record and edit sample CDs with Norman Cook, Coldcut, Pascal Gabriel, drum sample CDs with Steve White (Paul Weller), Neil Conti (Prefab Sprout/David Bowie) amongst many others.

Lee was also commissioned to create 4 sample CDs for AMG and those sounds can be heard on albums from Mirwais (Madonna) to The Crystal Method, from Craig Armstrong to Eurythmics to Rodney Jerkins (Brandy album), from Yello through to the Matrix Soundtrack and Garbage’s international smash album“Version 2.0” and from Gary Numan to the Batman Forever soundtrack.

The singles enjoyed big support across the board from Steve Lamaq, Annie Nightingale, John Peel, Mary-Ann Hobbs (Radio One) and Hybrid through to Seb Fontaine and Howie B, from Fatboy Slim through to Ali B. For 3 years, Lee was resident at John Digweed’s Bedrock club at Heaven, London and held a DJ residency at London’s Turnmills club.
