Alee first popped onto the country music scene with singles like “Only The Strong Survive”, “Don’t Say You Love Me”, and “Moonshine”. Earning multiple CCMA and CMAB nominations, along with multiple Top 20 singles are just some of the highlights of Alee’s career.

Alee is a classically trained pianist who didn’t pick up the guitar until a little later. She talked about songwriting on both instruments and finding her home at the piano. Alee’s newest single “Love Songs” has an interesting story behind its inspiration.
