Louie Lee
Louie Lee, born Lewis Hensley, is a Detroit-born music artist known for pioneering Country Hop and Roll, a sub genre of country music with influences of Hip/Hop, Rock & Roll, Soul, and Techno. “Being a Detroit native, we’re versed in so many genres of music. Country, Hip/Hop, Rock & Roll, Soul, Techno. So, for me, when I started exploring country music, as a country singer, I knew that to be my most genuine, authentic self I had to incorporate some of these other genres that I grew up with.”

He faced hearing issues until the age of 6, undergoing surgery to insert tubes in his ears, a pivotal moment that resolved his auditory challenges. Raised in a diverse trailer community, Louie Lee's exposure to varied musical styles shaped his early years. However, it was the passing of his grandfather that sparked his affinity for country music, eventually earning him a Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Country Recording with his song “Runaway."
