A genre-bending singer-songwriter whose journey is as raw and real as the music he creates, Karey Lee‘s new album “REDEMPTION” tells a true story of grit, radical perseverance and inspired renewal through almost impossible circumstances. After being wrongly imprisoned for 11 years over a non-violent marijuana charge, Karey didn’t waste a moment upon his release. He became a Billboard-charting menace and a veritable TikTok sensation, showcasing a drive rarely seen in music. Fans rally around his charismatic energy and clear resilience; his music and message act as a celebration of life and bravery. Ultimately, this is a classic, almost cinematic tale of survival, rebuilding and making up for lost time.
“I served over a decade in prison for a plant. Now I sing about truth & redemption.”
Listeners can expect a classic sound mixing rock, pop, americana and country rock elements fueled by a voice washed in emotion, refreshed enthusiasm, and a proper dose of pure attitude. Like Iggy Pop, this man has a ‘lust for life’ that is downright contagious.
“REDEMPTION” is the soul of a man who turned prison bars into a pathway to hope. Karey Lee Woolsey’s powerful rock-pop album is a journey of second chances and raw storytelling. Experience redemption, track by track. This essential new release is due January 2nd on streaming platforms.
