THE SCOOP
Born 185 miles outside Nashville in the small city of Maryville, Tenn., Jackie Lee heard Music City calling his name at a young age. With music in his blood—his dad is a professional musician—Jackie got his start singing in church. After moving to Nashville at age 17, Jackie began honing his sound. The now-25-year-old recently released his current single, “Getting Over You,” the first song from his upcoming debut album. As Jackie continues putting the finishing touches on the studio album, he’s also gearing up to hit the road in March as part of Dan+Shay’s Obsessed Tour.
SING BEFORE YOU CRAWL
“My first singing engagement, I was three years old. I sang at my aunts wedding. My dad had me doing music from the time I could crawl. Music is something that I have always—literally my earliest memories have to do with music. I was two years old and my aunt, my dads sister, sent me a video—I had just turned two and I could barely speak. I’m sitting there with my dad and I had my little guitar and we’re singing songs, and I could remember all the lyrics to the songs, but I couldn’t read or write. I could barely speak but I remembered the lyrics to the songs.”
