Sydney, Australia (1993 – present)

Ben Lee (born on September 11, 1978) is an Australian musician. He began as a musician at the age of 14 with the Sydney band, Noise Addict, but focused on his solo career when the band broke up, around when he turned 18. He is also an actor, having starred in the 2003 Australian film The Rage In Placid Lake. For many years he was dating Claire Danes but their relationship ended in 2003.

Ben Lee’s musical career began in 1993 with the band Noise Addict who came together after Ben was inspired to “do it himself” after seeing a Nirvana concert. Noise Addict were signed to Steve Pavlovic’s independent label Fellaheen Records, on the strength of a self-produced and distributed four-track demo recorded in Lee’s bedroom. Pavlovic’s connections brought the band to the attention of Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and Beastie Boys’ Mike D, both of whom released the band’s material in the US. The group put out several releases, including its one and only album in 1995, but broke up not long after its releases. He was also briefly a member of the alternative act Gerling.

Lee’s solo career started at the age of 16, while he was still in Noise Addict, when he began recording his first solo album, Grandpaw Would, in both Sydney and Chicago with producer Brad Wood. This was followed by the 1997 album, Something To Remember Me By, also produced by Wood.
