"Rarely do I receive a CD from a new artist that is this well written, produced, and sung. For it to come from someone still in high school, and this mature a work, is nothing short of amazing." - Michael Jaworek, The Birchmere.

There's a Star Rising Over Washington

"Rarely do I receive a CD from a new artist that is this well written, produced, and sung. For it to come from someone just out of high school, and this mature a work, is nothing short of amazing." - Michael Jaworek, The Birchmere. She sings. It's what she does. Atlantic Records recording artist Chelsea Lee sings like she means it, with a voice that services the emotion of the song. It’s a voice that carries joy and pain into the heart of the listener, with unbridled passion that borders on obsession.

So let’s get this out of the way now: Chelsea Lee is 18. As in, born in 1991.

It’s not a gimmick, it’s just the chronological way things are. It’s too easy to say she sings beyond her years, but she does. The maturity and professionalism showcased on stage and on disc are hallmarks of seasoned veterans, yet the chestnut haired charmer – who carries herself with the same sophistication as she performs – has it all. And she mixes the professionalism with youthful enthusiasm because singing is fun. It’s what she does.

And she writes the songs that she sings, which may be why she sings them to perfection. The songs are soulful folk with a modern pop sheen that showcase those beyond-her-years vocals.

Having signed with Atlantic Records, Chelsea's future is bright. There’s plenty of time. After all, she is only 18.
