Early life

Lee Hutton was interested very early in music and learned to play guitar. In 2006, when he was just 18, he became part of the global/international boy band project Streetwize (alongside Irish Donal Skehan and Lee Mulhern and Swedish Jonathan Fagerlund). After many changes, the amended cast of Streetwize – English Lee Hutton, Irish Lee Mulhern, Venezuelan Antonio Jones and American Kyle Carpenter – took part in Childline 2007 charity event singing a cover of Living in a Box's hit "Room in Your Heart".[1]

Disenchanted with the progress of the band, Lee Hutton went on solo with a number of his tunes (like "Shinedown", "Perfect Bride", "Invincible", "Madeline", "Butterfly"..)[2]
