About us

River Lee (real name Roger Lee Carroll-May) is an emerging gay black country music artist and songwriter, bringing a fresh and authentic voice to the genre. Hailing from Middleville, Michigan, River Lee's music is deeply rooted in the storytelling traditions of country music while reflecting his own unique experiences and identity. His heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies resonate with themes of love, struggle, and resilience, offering a perspective often underrepresented in country music.

River Lee's debut single, "Framed by Family" quickly gained attention for its raw emotion and authenticity, establishing him as a rising star to watch. His third single, "Love You to Death and Back Again" which was written as dedication to his husband Brandon on their third anniversary, has been his quintessential track and has really begun to gain a following and showcases his talent as singer/songwriter.

As an artist who is proudly married and openly gay, River Lee's personal journey and relationships inspire much of his music, making his songs deeply personal and relatable. Using this inspiration to create his upcoming debut album "Ashes to Always" due to drop on 2/14/25 for Valentine's Day, River Lee is poised to make a significant and lasting impact on the country music scene.
