Stories from the Studio: Nic Lee
This week we caught up with Southern Highlands musician, Nic Lee, this months Highland GM 100% Home-grown Artist of the Month!
Embedded within a family tapestry interwoven with musical traditions, Nic’s great grandmother’s legacy as a concert pianist paved the way for his own aspirations. Nic embarked on his musical journey at the age of 12, under the guidance of his father who introduced him to the art of fingerstyle guitar. Growing up amidst a harmonious blend of traditional blues, soulful bluegrass, and contemporary tunes, his musical roots are deeply ingrained.
Inspired by luminaries such as Kelly Joe Phelps, Kieran Kane, and Kevin Welch, Nic began crafting his own songs at the age of 16. These compositions draw from personal experiences and universal emotions, seamlessly melding nostalgia with modern perspectives.
