Geddy Lee was an integral part of the band Rush which was classed as producing progressive and hard rock music, while also expanding into heavy metal, synth-pop and alternative rock.

Lee got his start in the band after the original bassist left. Despite reaching life-changing success in Rush, he only explored a solo career briefly, creating one album named ‘My Headache’ in 2000, he then went on to release a single in 2015 called ‘The Lost Demos’.

His solo work focussed more on his personal life and became seen as a stripped-down version of the music he helped create in Rush.
