Arthur C. Lee is a multi-instrumentalist in Portland, OR, heavily influenced by the Pacific Northwest alternative and indie rock bands of late 90s to early 00s.  He has toured and recorded guitar, keys, accordion, banjo, and bass (among other things) with bands from Portland to Los Angeles. He has worked at the legendary KCRW and currently DJs for opbmusic.org. Lee has vivid memories of being a young teen in Portland, OR catching local jazz musicians at the old Jimmy Mac’s, soaking in the sun and the blues at the Waterfront Park Blues Festival, and sharing guitar licks with musicians around town.  But his life changed when he popped in a cassette tape of U2’s ‘Achtung Baby’ in his mom’s tape deck and was introduced to the world of rock n’ roll.  He soon picked up the dusty guitar lying around and urged his mom for lessons.  He joined bands and played at high school dances, friend’s parties, the large stages at the Rose Festivals, and all the underage venues in downtown Portland.  He went on to study music at UCLA and was immersed in the local jazz, folk, rock, and punk scenes in Los Angeles, again joining bands and playing at venues all around town.  He started teaching piano and guitar, showing his students the ropes of music, as well as holding student recitals twice a year.  At the same time he worked as a web-video producer for ‘Morning Becomes Eclectic’, at the world-renowned public radio station, KCRW.  There, he worked and met with some of the most respected musicians in the world, including Adele, KD Lang, Flaming Lips, Scarlett Johansson, Jack White, Pink Martini, M. Ward, Death Cab For Cutie, and much more.
