Migrating to Brooklyn in 1988, he immersed himself in the city’s creative pulse, eventually enrolling in the Julia Richman High School for the Performing Arts.

Lee*G’s talent quickly caught the attention of industry heavyweights. In the early 2000s, he became a key collaborator for Hip-Hop legend Masta Ace, featuring on the classic albums Disposable Arts and A Long Hot Summer.

His charisma also took him to the mainstream stage as part of the Verizon Ladies First Tour, where he shared the spotlight with icons Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and Missy Elliott.

Resilience & The Modern Era

In 2008, Lee*G faced his greatest challenge when he survived a life-threatening shooting while promoting music in Trinidad. This experience infused his work with a new level of depth and gratitude. He later linked up with Grammy-winning producer Chucky Thompson to create "Healing Time" and "Sucka Free," cementing his reputation as a storyteller of the highest caliber.
