Greg Lee is a drummer and master percussionist who lives in Hampton Roads. Growing up in an artistically diverse household in New York, he was exposed to musical genres that ranged from classical and rock to jazz and R&B, but it was Latin rhythms that spoke to him the deepest. Although he played piano, sax, and guitar earlier in life, he found his passion at age 32 when he began drumming. Greg went to the Governor’s School for the Arts in Norfolk.
