Louis Lee

Louis Lee shared the following in an interview in the United States:
 

"Not being defined by the success of others, not valuing immediate honor and wealth, constantly dreaming of the moment as I breathe while watching someone be comforted by my songs. Maybe this is the musician's path. I am convinced that I will be able to run towards that if I firmly believe in my effort."
 

"I believe songs have the power to convey emotions that cannot be explained in words. For me, singing isn't just about perfectly pitched notes and precise lyrics. It’s a mysterious existence that connects hearts. Music provides comfort to people and reminds them of the special and even painful memories they have. I want to play an important role with my singing, and I believe it will provide me with the opportunity to use my music to heal the wounded hearts of the world."
