Lee DeWyze is a talented singer/songwriter who relies on melody and emotion to construct unique, memorable, and emotionally charged songs. Dewyze blends elements of many different styles and influences to create his own approach to the traditional typecast of acoustic singer/songwriter. He changes directions in mid-stride which makes his style of songwriting unique. DeWyze states,"I want a connection with my audience in the sense that any song I do reminds them of a specific moments in their lives-not mine...I want listeners to say 'Wow, he was there when that happened to me.'...It's comforting to share my experiences and know that all the vivid, raw emotions that I felt are universal to all of as human beings." He also is focused on perfection and when his songs work, they touch on so many levels of the human condition that it is scary.His level of talent exceeds many artists twice his age, he never tires of doing any track until it's the way he feels it should be. Soulful, haunting and melodic are the drop words used to describe the music of Dewyze, but he hopes that the end product means so much more to listeners. He lives his life true to his music; his songs reflect his personal experiences but speak to all of us. Amongst the music genres of Folk, Pop, Rock, Alternative and Funk there lies a space of sonic soundscape that Lee Dewyze inhabits. Known for his energetic and thought provoking performances of well crafted and hooky acoustic material, DeWyze is an artist driven to succeed.Pass the peas!
 
Press Release: Taxi, The worlds Largest A & R Company gave Lee a 7 out of 10 in a review of Lee's Debut Album "So I'm Told"

"Lee's Album has a good message delivered with warmth and compassion by the clear and consistant vocals.The Warmth of Lee's voice and determined rythm of his guitar keep things in that vein throughout...."
- Taxi Magazine 2007

His new CD So I'm Told has a cohesive feel that connects the listener to him. The hurt comes through on " Dreaming Alone" both vocally and via expressive guitar work. His John Mayer-esque style dispenses tracks with angst in favor of imagination and emotional pull. What makes DeWyze unique however, is his exciting guitar chops, a more mature songwriting style, and a richer, deeper sound. The 11-track record, with guitar and vocals mostly by DeWyze, is an extremely strong, established collection of songs that showcases this boy can play and sing! Overall, it's a study in intimacy and focus and there seems to be a certain magic in his musical pureness. You walk away feeling that DeWyze got it right with the chilling melodic vocal lines, the brilliant guitar work coupled with everything else. Solid tracks such as "Cast Away" and " So I'm Told" are concrete testaments to his talents.
