Beginning with a rocky childhood that found him in foster care from the age of two to more recent battles with labels that didn't quite believe in his vision, Lee hasn't exactly had it easy. "I've had all kinds of bad experiences in my younger days," Lee honestly admits. "I was in the foster care system and various group homes for years. I got into fights with other kids, but I truthfully believe that those troubled times helped make me a stronger person." Lee remembers, "Back in the day, there was a spot on 42nd Street called Soul Cafe, and they had a singing contest every week where the winner got $300. I thought I would go in and win on the first night, but it wasn't that easy." Afterward, Lee's talents also secured him a slot on Showtime at the Apollo, where he performed the Stevie Wonder hit 'That Girl.Now, Lee is more determined to be a breakout R&B man; and without a doubt, that "shooting for the stars" resolve can be heard in his records. From the player swagger of the surefire club hit "What's It Gonna Be," the synth seduction of "She's A Keeper" and the sexy, slow dance groove that is "Breathe," Lee Carr has only just begun winning our hearts.
