Amos Lee
@Revention Music Center
The former schoolteacher from Philadelphia, PA grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey; Cherry Hill to be exact.
Like many creative musical artists Lee, with a college education in English and teaching elemenatry school . . .quit.
He waited tables, tended bar and all the while writing his music.
"I started playing open mikes and getting some feedback. I started feeling a little more confidence," he told Artist Direct.com.
A self-released EP with five of his original songs made Amos "one of the area's (Philly)most-talked-about emerging talents" according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, and was followed by a second, seven-song disc (both sold out on their initial pressings). "The time between when I stopped teaching and when I got signed was a beautiful, fun time."
