Lee Ross - Kingdom Of Rain

Lee Ross first met Darren Morris, North Street West studio owner and 1/3rd of No’West Productions, at a party in Hastings where they serenaded guests at a piano. After their duetting, Darren invited Lee to send him some demos. One of which of ‘Kingdom of Rain’ was played to Jo Wallace at Ramrock Red Records. ‘Kingdom of Rain’ draws upon the golden era of 70s West Coast blue eyed soul/drive time AOR, showcasing the magnificent production techniques of Darren Morris, with the collaboration nodding towards those supreme musical craftsmen, Ned Doheny, Kenny Loggins, Bill LaBounty and Rupert Holmes. With Lee’s vocal delivery and Darren’s production, there is a timeless quality to ‘Kingdom of Rain’ giving it the vibe that it could’ve been conceived at Warner Bros studios or Sunset Sound, LA.

Lee has been a prolific songwriter and considers it his true passion, fronting bands from his teens through his twenties culminating in an offer of a five album deal with Eddie Piller at Acid Jazz with his band PROPAGANJA. Unfortunately, the band split before they were signed but Lee continued to write. Delivering music for dance companies and, with Boo Hewerdine, producing an EP of his original material, Lee also wrote the wedding song for the marriage of his actor friend Andy Serkis to Lorraine Ashbourne.

Alongside his musical career, Lee is an award winning actor who holds an honorary doctorate for his outstanding contribution to the acting profession. A mainstay on our stages, televisions and cinemas for over forty years, he is best known for the hit children’s TV show ‘Pressgang’, the Catherine Tate Show, Eastenders and more recently ‘White Gold’ and ‘Andor’. Lee has also appeared in over twenty feature films including the iconic character ‘Gumbo’, the cult classic ‘ID’, ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’, the Oscar winning ‘The English Patient’ and Palme D’or winner ‘Secrets and Lies’, directed by Mike Leigh. Currently, Lee is in a leading role in the MGM/BBC thriller ‘Legacy of Spies’ starring Mathew McFadyen.
