Currently our longest standing number one in the LoneBoyStore chart, Lee DeWyze is a mature singer song-writer, but in fact is a shockingly young man not even old enough to hold a beer.
With influences from names like Cat Stevens, Dave Matthews, Bob Dylan and Damien Rice it's not surprising that he is looking to relate to his audience and touch them with his music, he could care less what is popular, what is "in", or what the masses think is good.
Lee would be happy if he accomplishes his goal of being musically self-sufficient but if not then he knows he will still be playing for the love of the "game." More into song building then he is into song writing Lee appears to give each track its own pulse.
"I want a connection with my audience in the sense that any song I do reminds them of a specific moments in their lives-not mine...I want listeners to say 'Wow, he was there when that happened to me.'...It's comforting to share my experiences and know that all the vivid, raw emotions that I felt are universal to all of as human beings.... Lee DeWyze...
Lee Dewyze is the type of artist who can change directions in mid-stride, when you think he's going left- he goes up, when you think he's going back- he goes right, and keeping in tune with him has kept producers Louis Svitek and Ryan McGuire on their toes. Svitek notes "he always has a new idea and that's great, he also is focused on perfection and when his songs work, they touch on so many levels of the human condition that it is scary." McGuire adds "his level of talent exceeds many artists twice his age, he never tires of doing the track 'til it's the way he feels it should be. As a producer that makes my job easier."
Featured on XM Radio and with over 500 spins nationally on 35+ Radio stations, and performing in places such as Downers Grove Heritage Fest ,Abbey Pub,The Elbow Room,Underground Lounge and Good Times Pub the future is looking great for the young singer from Chicago, Illinois, US.

Listening to his lyrics, the feeling in his voice, and the instrumentation in his tracks, you will go back on your assumptions.
You will be amazed how instinctually inclined his music and songwriting are. Soulful, haunting and melodic are the drop words used to describe the music of Dewyze, but he hopes that the end product means so much more to listeners.
Give "Dreaming Alone" a spin and try to kid yourself that
you've never felt the way the artist feels at that moment
