Nathan Lee was one of earliest favorites on the site when we were first getting up and running. Somehow he fell off our radar and we haven't reported on him in awhile. I saw this video and with today being Thanksgiving and remembering how much we liked Mr. Lee in the first place wanted to post this video.

SIMPLY SIX: Nathan Lee
Nathan Lee's Simply Six.
1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?
Actually….No. There’s no defining moment. Music has always been there for me.The bottom line….This is the only job I’ve never quit, even when I wanted to.
2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?
Well…..Here’s what I listened to today… Stevie Wonder. Earth, Wind & Fire. Jude Cole. Kings of Leon. And the “Across The Universe” Soundtrack.
3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?
Survival. Every day is a challenge…..Every day offers another opportunity.
4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?
Yes…I don’t believe it can change the world…I know it can. As to how….thats up to a mans heart, and his intentions.
5. How has technology affected the music industry? How has technology affected your career as a musician?
Well…I’m broke….that explains a lot of it. The upside….it allows for NEW ideas to change the way things used to be done. Its time to focus on our individual cause, not the industry. Art was never intended for the industry’s validation….and I love that technology can make or break us….we live in a time when good decision making is crucial….and I love the challenge!
6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?
Boots. With good soles!

SPOTLIGHT: Nathan Lee
Some artists are willing to risk everything for their music. Nathan Lee has and his new album coming out the first of September is fittingly called Risk Everything.
Lee's Father ran a recording studio in New Jersey. Being around music brought out the performance bug at an early age. As a teen he worked the local club scene. In his early twenties he moved to Nashville and began writing with a friend that had a record deal. EMI signed him to a publishing deal. Still writing for others wasn't satisfying for the performer in Lee.
While he was busy writing music for others Lee built a painting business into a six figure company. Balancing the two choices, a stable future in the painting business and the less stable world of music, Lee had only one choice to make. He chose music. The road wasn't easy. At one point he ended up living out of his car.
He assembled a band and took to the road with a new determination. Along the way he built a music and touring company. Again decisions had to be made and once more Lee was ready to risk everything to pursue his dream of performing. This was in 2007. He took up weekly residence at The Rutledge and started to build his following. Lee says of that time "Our audience was pastors and strippers. I sing to broken people because I am one. I want to write songs that bridge the gap between our differences and bring some essence of healing to what I do."
As his audience grew he signed a deal with One Revolution Entertainment, a mulitmedia entertainment company. Paul Moak, who has worked with Mat Kearny, Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith, came on as a producer.
Lee brings a arena anthemn sound to songs of choice and redemption. He is an artist in search of answers and reporting back from a world that has bent but never broken him.
