About Wes Lee The Wordsmith:
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Wes Lee The Wordsmith is the living definition of being comfortable with one’s self. The struggle to find balance and empowerment in an industry that rewards cookie-cutter expressions to earn a check, and reinforce self-sabotaging stereotypes, is what Wes Lee is here to lead others in achieving via his example. Wes Lee often remarks that “…my uncle said that rappers come a dime a dozen, especially at that point, but he felt I had abilities that go further than that as a poet. Poetry would open doors that rapping couldn’t while I finished my degree. I took that advice which led to amazing experiences and put me in a position to have greater control over my art when the time came to dive into the music industry.”
With that encouragement and focus, Wes Lee went on to become a renowned spoken word artist in HBCU circles, which includes opportunities that even spanned to a global audience as a guest speaker at Howard University for the Model African Union Organization.
Following his graduation from SSU, Wes Lee balanced starting a career as a computer engineer and mastering his love of music. In addition to being a prolific writer, Wes Lee began studying the complete recording process from laying down tracks to mixing and mastering.
