Michael Lee~ Artist Spotlight

Country musician Michael Lee continues to demonstrate to country music what has been missing for quite some time with his soft and strong vocals. He started his country music career when he was only 14 years old. Lee first sang gospel songs in church which later expanded into starting a duo group in the early 2000s and getting the notice from Grammy award-winning producer Wilbur C. Rimes (father of LeAnn Rimes). This off his career and next, he started to play at many showcases in Nashville while remaining to write songs with well-known songwriter Pat Alger (Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member who has written number 1 tunes for Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Brenda Lee and Crystal Gayle).

Although Lee was getting attention and support from the music industry he was also starting to receive, he was feeling emptiness in his life while being on the road and the duties of being a husband and a father. Lee decided to take a break, but still recorded many Christian country projects with Ren Hen Records, a part of Daywind Records. After locking down a new label deal with Private Label Artists, he is back working on new music for his fans and recording songs that many people could relate to.

Some of Lee’s musical influences are traditional singers like George Jones, Merle Haggard and Keith Whitley, it was the 1990’s country that formed him more than anything with artists such as Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Clint Black and Brooks & Dunn. Lee’s voice and soul will move you with each song he sings. He is showcasing what real life is all about and the various paths that we all have to pick which way to go and the hardships we will all face.

Lee’s great new single “Keep On Livin’,” came out this year and it is available to listen through this website (https://privatelabelartists.com). It was written by number one popular songwriter Gerald Douglas Crabb and T.W. Hale (Why Haven’t I Heard From You-Reba McEntire, A Night To Remember- Joe Diffie) and produced by Rich Schweinsberg, Keep on Livin’ was one of the singles that Lee was immediately a fan of.

Like many others, Lee has been staying at his home in Georgia for the past two months with his wife Julie and their three kids. In an attempt to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has paused much of the music industry, but it did not stop Lee from putting out new music to his fans during this time. Lee explains that his latest single has an important message that many people in the world need to hear and hold on to, especially right now.
