Micheal Lee

Born and raised in Texas and makes Dallas/Fort Worth his home.

This Texas Blues, Blues Rock, Americana artist has been performing throughout the Southern and Midwest, United States for over 12 years. Raised around blues music his entire life, Michael spent much of his young life in blues clubs receiving an Ivy League education from watching and playing with Blues legends such as Andrew “Jr Boy” Jones, Freddie King, Buddy Whittington, John Mayall, Lucky Peterson and Willie Dixon.

On nights that he was not in the blues clubs, he was down in the Ft. Worth stockyards, soaking in the country sounds which emanated from the honky tonks. Michael is the rare triple threat, he sings with passion, plays guitar from the soul, and writes songs of the heart.

Featured on Season 15 of NBC’s “The Voice”, his blind audition song “Thrill Is Gone” has received over 7 million views on YouTube.
