From: WA, United States
Aaron Oliver Lee is a 24 year old self-taught pianist and solo musician. Music has always been an intricate part of his life playing a large role in his personal and professional development. He always has that vision and aspirations of becoming a world renowned musician. In 2006 Aaron began his first project which he called “Sweet Dreams...” On this amazing compilation of songs (and there are twenty of them) there are a few that are being highlighted, playing an important role in distinguishing the artist as a evolving musician and an evolving human being. These twenty songs were based on a very difficult time in his life. Aaron’s self analogy is quite revealing stating that he “is just an insignificant person trying to make a significant impact on the world”.
Certain songs that were chosen mark certain times in Aaron’s life that have had an impact in his life – perhaps even life changing. He reveals these moments in songs like “A Journey To...(A Prelude to Neverland) or “Neverland” and “My Secret Heart”. “Neverland” plays the larger part in the compilation of songs as it was the first track to be written for this CD. It has gone through many changes and has significant meaning to the entire project and to Aaron himself.
“Sweet Dreams....” literally and metaphorically speaking, is geared towards dreams each containing traces of both hope and fear, light and darkness in every day life. This CD is more of an interactive CD allowing the listener to interject self interpretation and analysis as it might relate to their own lives. “The title of this CD is heavily based on J.M. Barrie’s tale of Peter Pan as it relates to non-fiction lives”, states Aaron. As stated by the artist, “Neverland” is the most poignant and impactful in his library of songs. Listening to it you are instantly transformed and transported to an emotional roller coaster - a world of calm and the fury. Aaron Oliver Lee’s piano playing is magnificent, breath-taking and awe inspiring. This instrumental piece truly allows your own emotion and life experience to overlay this glorious music as his own life did. Precious compositions that you want to cherish and hold dear to your heart. His music is beautifully written, arranged, recorded and delivered.
Although this is his debut CD, he has a lifetime of emotional and thought provoking compositions erupting into a fantasia of sound. Audiences from all over the world will be eagerly waiting for the release of his follow up CD “Out Of Time” which has no release date at this time.
Aaron Oliver Lee is currently working on a Winter themed EP titled “The Last Snow”.
The first song on “Sweet Dreams...” was licensed for an automobile commercial in France and throughout Europe for Renault Z.E. in their new ad campaign for 100% electric cars with 0% emissions. This commercial is available on their website as well as YouTube, etc. and is called
“Renault-The Electric Life”. The commercial will be making its way through Europe over the next year and hopefully Renault will pick the commercial back up for another 2 years in which it will air in even more countries.
Bravo Aaron Oliver Lee for outstanding work and accomplishments you’ve received and this is just the beginning.
Aaron is hoping to put a tour together for this coming summer or fall of 2012.
“I am very grateful for everything that has been happening to me and my career this year. It gives me hope that truly in darkness there can be some light. I can only hope that people will enjoy my music as much as I enjoy playing it and that I can change lives someday”.
You’ve changed mine already.
