Songwriter, Artist and Record Producer

Lee Horrocks is a songwriter, artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose work bridges the worlds of modern record-making and cinematic orchestration. Equally comfortable producing a 100-piece orchestra session or building a track from the ground up in the studio, he moves fluidly between musicianship and production — layering guitars, piano, bass, drums and programming other elements to shape records with both scale and intimacy.

Over the course of his career, Horrocks has worked in many of the world’s most legendary recording rooms, including Abbey Road Studios, Capitol Studios, Henson Recording Studios and Mosfilm Studios. Sunset Sound,Electric Lady, Record Plant and many more. Along the way he has collaborated with some of the industry’s most respected artists, producers, executives and session musicians, developing a reputation for musical instinct, sonic craftsmanship and artist-focused production.

As a writer, Lee is at home in many styles, whether it be Pop, Jazz, Rock, Folk, Blues or Country. As a producer, he celebrates all of the latest digital technologies and DAW's, but remains extremely passionate about analog outboard equipment and embraces both realms to great affect in all of his productions.

The backstory...

Born in Liverpool England in 1970, Lee first enjoyed success as an artist with the band CUFF when they became the indie darlings of the late 90's British music scene. After winning London Music Week in '96 and being championed by Veteran Radio DJ John Peel, the band went on to be play-listed on UK Radio 1 and 2 and heavily rotated on MTV Europe. After two successful live tours and 3- sold-out limited edition vinyl single releases, the 'Blow Up' single 'Yellowmaddacoolivision' found it's way to Rodney on the ROQ in Los Angeles and CUFF was later signed to Atlantic Records by Ahmet Ertegun in Feb 1998.

Dividing his time between London and New York over the next few years, Lee developed a love for writing and producing other artists for his then publisher Notation Music in New York City. Working under the mentorship of Rick Wake, Lee wrote with artists, other producers and songwriters such as RedOne, Enrique Iglesias, The Jonas Brothers, Brie Larson, Lindsey Lohan and Yohanna among others. 

In 2009, Lee had another success as the writer and producer of Yohanna's 'Butterflies and Elvis', a full length album release on Warner in Europe. The record reached the top spot in Yohanna's native Iceland and went Top Ten in several other countries. In the few years that followed and whilst living in LA, Lee wrote a handful of songs with the actress Sharon Stone and his song 'Jump' by Kate Earl was released on Tommy Mottola's Universal Republic label to great acclaim.

These days, Lee's passion for songwriting and producing is still as strong as ever and he now writes for Sony Music Publishing and continues to record his own music under Lee Horrocks with the occasional 'Liverpool Country Blues' release under the alias of Lee Riley & The Lo-Fi Broadcasters. Lee’s personal studios are located in Nashville Tennessee and Wales in the UK, however, Lee produces in studios and venues across the world and has spent the past several years writing and producing Russian/American artist and two-time Russian Grammy Winner Alexander Kogan. During his time working with Alexander, Lee has toured the globe as his music producer in addition to being the musical director for the concert shows. Together, they toured many international dates with the legendary Julio Iglesias including, The US, Canada, Ireland, England, Turkey, Russia, Israel, The Netherlands,  Spain, and the rest of Europe.

In 2018 he founded the eP Rights Management record label, with a focused business model of 50/50, artist/label equity partnerships, Lee is currently building a team to sign and develop new talent in the Americana/Country/Pop/Rock genres.
