We recently connected with Louie Lee and have shared our conversation below.

Louie , appreciate you joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?

I want people to look at my work and be inspired. I want them to see someone who never let where they came from decide the future they wanted to live. They will say he always gave 110% and carried himself with integrity. He was genuine first and foremost with a dedicated work ethic to succeed. He lifted others to work as hard as he did for their passions. That sounds like a good legacy to me.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Louie Lee is a Detroit native who is changing the perception of country music. He faced challenges growing up, including his parents’ divorce and being hearing impaired, but his mother’s hard work taught him the importance of never giving up. Growing up in a diverse community exposed him to various musical styles, but it wasn’t until his grandfather’s passing that he found his voice in country music. Louie Lee creates music that reflects his resilience and ability to adapt to different situations and musical styles, incorporating subjects and sounds not commonly heard in country music. His unique approach to the genre, which he calls “Country Hop & Roll,” has attracted a diverse audience new to country music.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

When Covid hit like most entertainers I was out of work. No more shows sadly. So I took the time to take up a creative writing class. That then turned into taking more classes in recording and production. I knew that if I didn’t take the opportunity to learn during this time off I would regret it later. Before that time it was not in my cards to have more schooling and advance myself in the skills I wanted. Knowing when to make a move is a gut feeling sometimes and I trusted mine.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I used to think I had to be a certain way or look a certain way to be accepted by my peers or gain fans in the music I was making. It wasn’t until I started putting myself first and accepting that I couldn’t please everyone that I started finding my sound and look. I knew the right people would be in my corner and that’s all I would need.
