A composer of film, TV, and game music, indie soul songs, and funk-fueled electronica, producer/multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee embarked on his eclectic career in music in the late 1980s, completing his first solo LP in 1996, though it never received an official release. In addition to his solo material in the 2000s, he formed Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra, released albums with Clutchy Hopkins, and began taking work composing scores, including for the video game Bully (2006). The Ping Pong Orchestra continued into the 2010s as Lee formed psychedelic soul group the Electric Peanut Butter Company and the indie electronic duo AM & Shawn Lee. Meanwhile, highlights of his periodic score work included the documentaries Elevate (2011) and Let It Soul (2018). In 2019, Lee released Rides Again, a collection of soulful Americana and his first album to feature vocals in over a decade.
