Born in 1970 in Wolverhampton, Lee came from a musical family and started playing the drums at six years of age. He learnt his instrument from his dad and spent many hours during his early years playing along with various records from the family record collection. At age 12, Lee joined his first High School covers band, playing the top 40 songs at the time, but the band never played outside the school walls. At the age of 14, Lee discovered a love of rock music after hearing the Iron Maiden Killers and Kiss Alive albums. The mould had been set. Lee joined his first rock covers band called Wyzed in the early 80s and got to enjoy playing rock regularly at various halls, pubs and clubs throughout the English Midlands. Lee got frustrated with playing covers at that time, having a burning desire to be a "rock star". In order to try to achieve that, he would need to be part of an original band. First stop on his musical journey was a band called Royale that included Vince O'Regan in the line-up. During the late 80s and early 90s Lee played in his first signed band which was a Birmingham based band called Marshall Law. Lee recorded an E.P., one studio album and one live album with the band before they disbanded. At the start of 1991 Lee auditioned for then "Brit rockers" "Little Angels" after a recommendation from departing drummer Michael Lee. He got down to the last two but eventually lost out to Mark Richardson as Lee's style was considered too similar to Michael's and the band wanted to move in a slightly different musical direction.
