Lee Miller MatsosLee Miller Matsos is an opera and musical theater performer turned pop rock artist. His ethereal and emotional musical style and expressive flair is a product of his extensive theatrical background. As a lyricist, Lee uniquely expresses the evolving, non-linear journey from grief, pain, and brokenness to hope, healing and restoration.
Lee’s musical journey began forming from his childhood years, when he watched legends Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. perform. As a teen and young adult, Lee thrived as a musical theatre and operatic performer, studying with Leroy Kromm at San Francisco Conservatory of Music before beginning his evolution to the contemporary music world. Primed by his rich life experience and the music of U2, Coldplay, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, and others, Lee set out to chart his path for his music career when he enrolled at Berklee partner school Holland College in 2019. There, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, he wrote most of the “Metamorphosis” album. The first installment of the album was released as an EP on September 8, 2023. The second EP, "Metamorphosis, Pt. 2," is out September 6, 2024.
