Eric Lee is a published BMI songwriter writing across country, punk, and rock. After 21 years as a wildland firefighter, he brought a lifetime of stories and hard-earned perspective to songwriting.
His country writing blends neo-traditional roots with a contemporary edge, built around strong hooks, relatable characters, and emotionally grounded storytelling. On the rock side, his writing leans into the energy, vulnerability, and melodic punch of modern punk, emo, alternative, and hard rock, drawing inspiration from artists such as Felicity, Eddie and the Getaway, Giovanni and the Hired Guns, Shinedown, and Five Finger Death Punch.
Drawing from working-class life, relationships, family, hard lessons, resilience, and second chances, Eric writes songs that feel lived-in rather than manufactured.
An active collaborator who is always open to co-writes, Eric is focused on writing artist-ready songs that connect with listeners while staying true to honest storytelling, regardless of
