Born and raised in New York, 21-year-old Lee Carr had to overcome many personal and professional hurdles before finally landing on solid ground. Life’s experience has shaped this young artist, dealing with the early death of his beloved father Kenneth Mickey - singer/rapper/producer, and growing up in the NYC foster care system from the age of two, “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 truthfully believe that those troubled times helped make me a stronger person. “I didn’t really know my father well, but I do feel like he passed down his musical talents,” says Lee sadly. “I think he would be very proud of me right now.” Finding sanctuary in the songs of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Babyface, Also citing New Edition and Jodeci as influences, Lee began singing around his aunt’s house when he was sixteen. “She was the first to encourage me towards a musical direction. Prior to that, I was just into playing basketball and rapping.” Lee Carr shaped his debut album with a mix of, sexy mid-tempos, emotional ballads and a few heaters for the club. The project resonates with a freshness that the game is missing. 　　On the single “Breathe,” Lee comes across as a real man who is not afraid to let his lady know how he feels.
