Francesca Lee

Francesca Lee is the kind of artist who stops, takes a look around, literally breathes in the inspiration for her music. Walking the streets of San Francisco is how she goes about gathering her inspirations, she sees it all around her.

As well as her solo work, she headlines with her band the New Believers at a number of well known North California venues and is well known to the people of the area, appearing on numerous local radio broadcasts and has even played on the Born To Play Live Acoustic for the Gap.

She has a storied background, born of a Polish mother and a Korean father, her formative years were spent in California and Texas. By pounding the street promoting local music and setting up street performances she managed to scrape the funding together required to head over to Liverpool in the United Kingdom to take her place in the Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts founded by no-less than former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney.

Her music almost entirely comes from within – channeling storylines and lyrics from her subconscious and her very soul.

“I always have hope,” the singer says. “These songs are more of an observation than anything. They are not about me; they express the emotions that I feel. This is what I work to capture.”
