C.Y. Lee grew up in Boston where he studied music, architecture, and computer science. He started with piano and cello, then migrated to DJing and college radio in the late 80s, amassing a huge collection of vinyl and CDs.
His career is rooted in 80s college radio, 90s PC software, 00s Internet, and 10s social apps. He is currently collaborating with artists, scenes, and platforms to create new ways to narrate & finance the artist’s creative process via NFTs.
His intention is to foster a culture where fans enthusiastically support independent artists via new forms of patronage.
