Lee Vasi is an Atlanta-based Christian R&B artist. Originally from Fayetteville, NC, Lee grew up singing with her siblings and performing in theater productions. Her Puerto Rican-Dominican and African American heritage exposed her to a wealth of music genres from a young age, which inspired her to share her experiences through music. She wrote her first song at 10 years old when she was backstage at The Lion King on Broadway, in which she played the role of Young Nala. Since then, she most notably appeared on American Idol and continued to develop as a singer/songwriter until deciding to take some time to learn more about herself and her relationship with Christ. Eager to share her conversations with God through her music, Lee released her first single in over three years in September 2023. “My Bad” quickly established her as one to watch, with her bilingual (Spanglish) rendition of the song gaining traction on social media following her a cappella performance on Kai Cenat and Speed’s live-streamed talent show. In the first week of 2024, her most recent offering, “Teach Me,” went viral on both Instagram and TikTok prior to its release, gaining her over 180,000 new followers between both platforms in two weeks, and over 100,000 organic streams on Spotify and Apple Music respectively in less than a week following its release. With the song’s conversational honesty and crossover appeal, she earned her first entries on the Billboard charts, with the record debuting at #2 on the Gospel Digital Song Sales chart, and #21 on Hot Gospel Songs.
