Create "original" music that will endure and inspire future generations to also think and create for themselves! Great artists don't always have "perfect" voices but they do have a "voice" which they make known by writing their own material and singing it from their heart with true conviction. These days everyone believes they are a singer and songwriter (even tho someone else writes all their material for them) but unless you are writing with a "point of view" and writing your own material you are a "performer" and possibly a manufactured product of someone else's thoughts! Many people can sing (which there is a talent and technique required to properly convey the author's material) but not everone can be a real artist which generally belongs to a special breed of thinkers and creators!

Jodi Lee is a unique New York City Artist and Singer who writes songs with eclectic influences ranging from soulful classic bluesy rock to acoustic country ballads to punkish alternative rock (more songs to come).

As a child, Jodi, who practically "danced herself right out of the womb", would often practise her classical ballet to Rock & Roll songs. Full of energy and life she amused everyone with her charismatic song interpretations (often adding her own lyrics to standards). Having learned "standards of excellence" thru her training as a ballet dancer and classic opera technique with Industry Pros (William Riley, Mary Pettibone & Don Lawrence) she realized that while technique is important it is the ability to express your art intelligently, honestly and passionately that makes for a great artist. Being a gypsy at heart who "dances to the beat of her own drum" she decided to put her spontaneous and creative nature to work to write for herself. She began to listen to all types of music and to "Hear" what her rock, soul, funk & folk idols had to say. Realizing the roots of rock n roll began with soulful brothers/sisters who had so many honest and important things to say and who sang them with such feeling - she found herself stongly attracted to and relating to that world. While at the same time being influenced by the British, American & Canadian boys who were speeding up the blues and rockin it out .. she caught on that many a rock song is basically a 50's/60's progression sped up, slowed down or funked out. Then it all clicked - if the boys can do it - maybe I can too! Writing from her heart she began expressing her feelings on acoustic guitar - from sad and soulful songs to powerful rock songs with messages of intelligence and angst - just like her male counterparts.

Along with being an accomplished artist, singer and performer in her own right, Jodi also looks forward to collaborating with "select artists/songwriters/bands/producers" who might be looking for a fresh and honest point of view.
