#SoloMessiahProject Pt III just released on  CDBaby.com http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/yclee1

YC Lee is grateful & proud to release his own self-titled classical digital music project for availability to the general public. September 19, 2016

Originally released June 11, 2016 as a “soft-release” to friends & family on social media, YC Lee's self-produced solo project entitled, “Solo Messiah Project, Pt I” is a virtuoso display of Bel Canto pyrotechnics designed to showcase the three octave range of this unique & dynamic classically trained singer. YC Lee's “Solo Messiah Project” was funded through family & friends on RocketHub.com and through the funds raised, he was able to self-produce the complete set of audio for three digital online albums and also six music videos which accompany this creative & ambitious vocal undertaking.

Recently released this September 1st, 2016 YC Lee, “Solo Messiah Project, Pt II” is a continuation of the vocal prowess displayed in “Solo Messiah Project, Pt I.”, and it is anticipated that his self-produced “Solo Messiah Project, Pt III” will be released this October, 2016 and will feature a one-of-a-kind vocal duet with YC Lee performing both parts to the popular “Oh Death, Where Is Thy Sting” duet for Alto & Tenor.

George Frideric Handel's “The Messiah” has been transformed into a unique & intimate “Solo Messiah Project” with tenor YC Lee performing all Solo Recitatives and Arias composed for this oratorio. YC Lee handles all Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass parts in his own virtuosic Tenor range. YC Lee's “Solo Messiah Project” makes an ideal gift of classical music during the thanksgiving and holiday season.

His most recently released, self-produced music videos are available on Vimeo. The four videos which accompany “Solo Messiah Project, Pt II” are:

“He Was Cut Off / But Thou Didst Not Leave” https://vimeo.com/181324244
