[edit] Early life
Born and raised in Vancouver B.C., she grew up immersed in a musical environment. At age 15, Lee turned down an offer from Sony Hong Kong to join the short-lived girl group Ris-K. Eager to explore her Chinese roots and to see the world, in 2002, Lee joined another group called NRG performing in Hong Kong. When the SARS outbreak hit Asia, Lee returned home to focus on her solo career.
Lee aligned with Vancouver-based Hipjoint Production, and achieved "indy-cred" with her debut album 'What a Difference a Day Makes'. Its flagship single "The Naughty Song" was initially released through the club scene, which, in addition to the Juno nomination, scored nominations for a 2006 Indie Music Award for Pop Artist of the Year and 2 Canadian Radio Music Awards.
[edit] Musical career
Initially her music caught fire in the clubs across Canada; radio soon followed with her first single "The Naughty Song". nominated for a Juno Award.
Her second album, Sinful Innocence, was released through WIDEawake/Universal on May 15, 2007. Featuring production from multi-platinum and 3-time Juno Award winner Perry Alexander (Keshia Chante, Shawn Desman) and KUYA (Nelly, Ginuwine, MASE), Sinful Innocence enthusiastically explores society's "good girl/bad girl" double-standard from Cory's own independent liberal perspective.
