Although raised in the Chicago suburbs of Joliet, Memphis based artist Erlee has never been tied down to any place, mindset, or dream. He is truly an anomaly when it comes to the way he lives, thinks, and produces his music. This young music artist was brought up under the influence of world-renowned artists and musicians such as Anita Baker, D'Angelo, A Tribe Called Quest, and Common. His own unique sound reflects this; Erlee’s love for lyricism is matched by an appreciation for musicality and refreshingly exceptional beats, which set his work a step above the hip-hop music that is played on the radio. A triple threat, Erlee not only raps, but also sings and makes use of his years of classical piano training in the producing aspect of his music. For him, hip-hop is more than just heavy bass and punch lines – he pays close attention to every detail regarding the music making process to ensure the greatest quality for his fans.One mantra he continues to go by is to "Never sleep on yourself" and to continue to constantly "Wake up" the masses with your gifts.
