Los Angeles based, Texas Native, Singer-songwriter Reid Lee has scaled many mountains in his life. Shadowing these powerful moments has always been a restless search for validation. One night, over a few beers his usually stoic father addressed this internal dynamic head on. He told Reid point blankly that he didn’t need anyone’s approval anymore. The following year his father passed away, and those words rang true with stark clarity. It was time for Reid look within and share his artistic gifts. And that’s just what Reid does on his debut album, Broken Arrows, an elegant collection of emotive pop.
Prior to Broken Arrows, Reid toured professionally, sung background vocals on multiple cast albums, and established himself as a triple threat, a gifted singer, dancer, and actor. Along the way, he has performed with such icons as Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Holiday, Leann Rimes, Linda Ronstadt, and Sara Bareilles. He has also earned a BA with a double major in Music and Theatre from UCLA.
Reid’s sublime musicality is inextricably linked to his life journey. His birthplace of Corpus Christi, Texas, his foundational training in opera at UCLA, and his adopted and spiritual home of Los Angeles have all imbued his work with a kaleidoscopic artistic and personal perspective. Reid takes inspiration from country, jazz, classical, opera, soul, and the warm intimacy of the Laurel Canyon 1970s singer-songwriter tradition.
