Meet Nadine
01 / HER STORY

Music has always been about telling the truth.

Nadine Lee is a musician, musical director, composer and educator whose work moves across live performance, theatre, recording and community.

Her relationship with music started young. At six, she saw her cousin playing drums and was drawn to the energy. Church gave that feeling a home, an exciting atmosphere where music was alive, shared and something she wanted to be part of all the time.

That early connection grew into a professional life in music. Since leaving university, Nadine has built a career around performing, directing, creating and teaching, while continuing to explore what it means to make work that sounds and feels like her.

02 / IN HER OWN WORDS

Understand the journey.
Understand the music.

Nadine talks about where music began, becoming a full-time musician, finding her own voice and why the story behind the work matters.

“Being yourself is the hardest, yet the most fulfilling thing in life.”
03 / THE WORK

One musician.
Many disciplines.

Nadine's work crosses performance, musical leadership, composition and education. Each discipline informs the others.
