Ben Lee

Benjamin Michael "Ben" Lee (born 11 September 1978 in Sydney, Australia) is an ARIA Award winning musician and actor. Lee began his career 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. He appeared as the protagonist in the Australian film The Rage in Placid Lake (2003). Lee has released seven solo studio albums.

Lee's solo career started at the age of 16, while he was still in Noise Addict. 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. Lee was then featured in 1998's Theres Something About Mary soundtrack, with the song How To Survive A Broken Heart. 1999's Breathing Tornados, released on Pavlovic's new label Modular, marked a new direction for Lee as he introduced synthesizers and increased instrumentation into his sound. The album was a success in Australia, earning Lee ARIA Award nominations for Best Male Artist and Album Of The Year. The album's first single, "Cigarettes Will Kill You", was also nominated for Single Of The Year and finished second in that year's Triple J Hottest 100.
