Geddy Lee is the iconic vocalist, bassist, and keyboard player of the renowned rock group Rush, alongside drummer Neil Peart and guitarist Alex Lifeson. As the most successful Canadian music group in history, Rush has achieved an impressive feat, boasting the third most prolific sales of consecutive Gold and Platinum Records and videos, only behind the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Lee's remarkable bass-playing skills have earned him a reputation that mirrors that of his bandmates, all of whom are among the most influential virtuosos in their respective crafts.
As a natural overachiever, Geddy Lee is equally renowned for his exceptional production and performance skills. He is widely recognized for his extraordinary bass-playing ability, as well as his impressive juggling of bass, singing, playing keyboards, and triggering pre-recorded accompaniments during live performances, all while maintaining his trademark enthusiasm as Rush's "frontman". Over the years, Lee has refined his high-pitched singing voice, which was initially met with mixed reactions, into a more widely accepted and polished sound, showcased on recent Rush albums such as 2002's "Vapor Trails" and his solo album "My Favorite Headache".
Following a hiatus from recording and touring, Rush embarked on a highly successful 2002 tour, performing to great anticipation in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil, where they played to an astonishing 125,000 fans over three nights. The final performance of the tour was captured on DVD as "Rush in Rio" (2003),which was certified double-platinum within weeks of its release. Geddy Lee is the son of Polish parents who survived the Nazi concentration camps, and in addition to his work with Rush, he has also produced albums for various other bands, including Rocket Science.
