Biography

Ben Lee is fun! Ask him, he’ll tell you. It’s even in the title of his forthcoming album “I’m Fun!” Makes sense at first glance; Lee has crafted some of the catchiest tunes in Australian pop history, but listening to the album, you get the sense this isn’t the kind of ‘fun’ Lee is talking about. ‘I’m Fun!’ finds Ben in reflective mode aged 43, addressing opinions of him that have lingered since his career began at age 13 with the band Noise Addict, but also consciously moving the goalposts for this next chapter of his long and fabled career. In his 30-year music career, Ben Lee has been prolific and unpredictable. There have been chart hits (Cigarettes Will Kill You, Gamble Everything For Love, We're All in This Together and Catch My Disease – "That one's put food on the table more than a few times,” he says). An instrumental album inspired by the use of psychoactive drugs (Ayahuasca: Welcome to the Work). An album for kids (Ben Lee Sings Songs About Islam For The Whole Family). After years as an indie artist (including for his biggest album, Awake is the New Asleep), Ben has signed an international deal with Warner to release I'm Fun! – exactly the way he made it. ‘I'm Fun!’ features songs about surviving lockdown (of Parents Get High he says, "There's something terrifying and exciting for kids knowing their parents are still exploring what consciousness means"), celebrating being different, and embracing positivity with first single ‘Born for This Bullshit’.
