Lee J Hodgson was born and raised in Essex, UK. Although known as a country guitarist and singer, Lee has in fact played most styles of music, having played jazz-flavoured gigs since the 80s and a lot of pop gigs too, including tours with No. 1 chart act, Odyssey, in 1980–81. While touring with another chart act, Bobby Thurston, Lee had the opportunity to jam with Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove.
