About Amos Lee
A former school teacher, Amos Lee entered the University of South Carolina in 1995, where he began to play acoustic guitar and write songs. After graduating college with a degree in English, Amos returned to Philadelphia where he taught elementary school. His craving to pursue music as a career enforced him to make the hard decision to leave teaching.
To earn a living he waited tables, tended bar, and continued writing songs. Such devotion is the true hallmark of a great professional as well as a great artist. He made sure he practiced and wrote songs even if he didn’t had the time to eat. A self-released EP with five of his original songs made Amos one of the area's most-talked-about emerging talents.
Success followed him throughout & he became an instant hit worldwide. His compositions were in great demand & sold millions of copies in just weeks of their releases. Though quite young an artist, Amos launched his debut album in 2004 which made him a star.
True to his profession he still writes his own songs & sings with the same determination which he used to do when he started. Amos has the honor of opening shows for such legends as Bob Dylan, BB King, and Mose Allison; a break came when Norah Jones became an early convert to his cause and invited Amos to open her European tour, beginning in April 2004. Ready with only his voice and guitar, Amos found himself facing 3,000-5,000 listeners a night--and up to three times that number when he joined Norah's US tour.
This was the great opportunity Amos was looking for & this started the great success story for Amos Lee.
