Lee Everton

with «I Feel Like Dancing»

The moments are rare when you listen to an album and

you suddenly realize something is different and new

and you find yourself immersing into an unknown world

feeling familiar and comfortable all the same.

Lee Everton from Zurich achieved this with his

touching debut album "Inner Exile". The singer and

musician crosses the boarders between Roots Reggae,

Blues, Country and Soul with surprising ease.

Foundation for this unique songwriter reggae is Lee's

own invented "Slingsstyle Rhythm", combining

beautiful melodies with captivating rhyhthms and

intense lyrics. The result is a new sound somewhere

between Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.

From his early teenage days Lee Everton was fascinated

with Black Music. Searching for the right song and the

perfect sound he travelled to Jamaica when he was 18

to spend a year at the Jamaican School of Music in

Kingston. The sessions with musicians from all over the

Caribbean had a lasting impact on him. Working later at

the Quad Recording Studios in New York he

assisted sessions with Alicia Keys, Kanye West and

Celia Cruz. Only recently he attended a workshop for

songwriters in Los Angeles where he met the successful

songwriter Penny Framstad who offered him to

coach him on two of his songs. A chance he took gladly.

Turning point in his life was a car accident which he

survived mainly uninjured but which made him more

pensive and sensitive.

With all those experiences he started to experiment

with new rhythms and to create a new sound. The

first outcome of this work is the song "I Feel Like

Dancing" which has already made it into the playlists of

Switzerlands two major radio stations.

"Inner Exile" is out October 5th on Rootdown Records in

Germany, Switzerland, Austria and will be released

worldwide in February 2008.
