Lee has always found sanctuary in the corners of his mind, for in the corners you will find your true nature and true creative being. His mission is to free people from the confines of the music they are accustomed to listening to and elevate electronic music to the next level. He found himself fixated on music from an early age, constantly learning more about music as he taught himself to play several instruments over time. When he found the dance music scene, he immediately moved away from rock oriented instruments and gravitated toward electronic music. He was completely fascinated by the anonymity of artists, the raw power of the music and how it made the crowd move with every churning rhythm until it seemed everyone was ready to lose their minds all at once. After traveling to Detroit and Chicago he realized that he had something to contribute to this music and began collecting records and DJing in 2000. Two years later he had amassed enough knowledge and equipment to commit to producing full force. He soon relocated from Grand Rapids to Detroit where he broadened his musical scope and continued sharpening his skills.

His music has become a heavily German influenced form of minimal with an unorthodox approach to textures and rhythms, using lo fidelity to create elements of disarray surrounded by crunching beats, tweaky synthlines, held together by bubble gum sticky bass lines. With a recent 3 month tour of Europe behind him, a track on the new Audion Fabric mix, and upcoming releases on Spectral Sound, Underl_ne, and Milnor Modern, Lee Curtiss is an artist clearly on his way up and showing no signs of slowing down.
