Born on Framlingham Aboriginal mission, South-Western Victoria,
Lee began playing guitar at the age of 11, seventeen years later,
he has developed into an outstanding singer, songwriter and guitar
player and a wonderful high energy performer.
One of three children, Lee grew up at Framlingham Aboriginal mission
beside the Hopkins River. His grandfather, Banjo
Clarke, taught him about his culture. Having a father of European
descent and an Aboriginal mother taught Lee a great lesson in respecting
people and their beliefs.

Lee's first job was as an Aboriginal Education Officer, a position
he held for five years before turning to music seriously as a profession.
In 1991, Lee won his heat of the Australian Rebel Yell Guitar Challenge.
In 1993 Lee participated in the Songlines Pilot Course under the
guidance of Richard Frankland and Tony Norris at the Southwest Institute
of TAFE in Warrnambool.
Moving to Melbourne in 1994 has created many opportunities for
Lee and has raised his profile in the Australian music industry.
He has recorded five independent releases with Taliesin, Colors
and Jarrah. His debut solo album Laura Lee and the Stranger and
Jarrah's second album was released in 1999.

Lee has toured with Midnight Oil, Shane
Howard, Tiddas, Nocturnal,
Archie Roach and Weddings Parties
Anything. He recently toured country Victoria promoting the Indigenous
Youth Land Council. Lee has also played guitar on Ruby Hunter's
record produced by Mushroom records.
