Fulton Lee has been releasing music since 2016, but it wasn’t until he posted a short video on social media in 2023 promoting his song “Alright” that he became a viral sensation. Lee started his music career in Virginia as a teen, playing in his father’s classic rock cover band, then moved to Nashville in 2016 to forge his own path in the industry. I really started to gravitate towards more soulful records: Aretha Franklin, Sly and the Family Stone, Otis Redding, and then Lake Street Dive. I was writing music and releasing music, and I was Fulton Lee. That’s really cool.
