With an earnest ability to create a delicate balance of harmony, melody, deep emotion and subtlety, Lee DeWyze’s depth as a songwriter call to mind some of his earliest influences like Simon and Garfunkel, Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens) and Johnny Cash.

On Ghost Stories, the last album release (Aug 2021), Lee states “Ghost Stories is about telling the story in a more abstract way so people can interpret the songs for themselves. I wanted not just the emotion of the music and lyrics, but the words themselves to have an impact. It was made in a way as it felt like a continuous movement across a page, as in a story.”

DeWyze has amassed over 70 million streams across all DSPs, 30 million YouTube views from his incredible award winning videos, and over 75 synchs with film, TV, radio and brand campaigns. You can hear Lee’s song “Victim Of The Night" in the upcoming Paramount+ film TeenWolf (Jan 26).

Over the last 10 years, Lee has released six albums, including Frames (Vanguard Records, 2013), which included the top 40 Billboard Hot AC hit “Fight.” In 2014, his song “Blackbird Song” was placed in the show “The Walking Dead”.

After signing with Shanachie Records in 2016, Lee released the album Oil and Water, which hit Number One on the iTunes folk and singer/songwriter chart, followed by Paranoia (2018), which hit Number One on the Alternative chart. As the winner of American Idol Season 9 in 2010, he made his major label debut with Live It Up (RCA).
