Lee Andrew Hutton (born 13 March 1987, Chesterfield, England) is an English singer-songwriter.
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]
Industry
In 2009, Lee Hutton joined the Irish band Industry becoming the only non-Irish member of the band, alongside the Irish band members Donal Skehan, Michele McGrath and Morgan Deane. The band had good success in the Irish charts including two chart topping singles "My Baby's Waiting"[3] in June 2009 and "Burn"[4] in August of the same year on the Irish Singles Chart. In 2009, they were also a supporting act for The Pussycat Dolls at Fitzgerald Stadium. Later Industry single releases like "In Your Arms" (with Hutton on lead vocals),[5] "My Mistake", "Drown in the Music" and "Kill the DJ" did not chart, leading the decision to disband.
In 2009, Hutton also appeared in an Irish television series Xposee.[6]
After Industry
After the break-up of the group, Lee worked as Sales Team Manager for celebrity agent Jeremy Charles Revell – Celebrity Agency Revellation Limited at the Midlands office in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.[7]
