Geddy Lee (Geddy [fmr. Gary] Lee Weinrib) was born on July 29th, 1953 and is currently 71 years old. Geddy Lee was born in North York, Ontario, Canada.
Geddy Lee is best known as a keyboard player, vocalist, and bassist for Rush the rock group. The band has to be one of the most successful in the history of Canadian music and has sold the third most Platinum and Gold records behind only
The Rolling Stones and
The Beatles.
Lee lost his father while he was still very young and hence his mother had to work hard to support him and his three kids. His mother used to run a variety store in Newmarket, Ontario, which her husband had previously managed and owned. Geddy Lee believes that the death of his father was a factor in his decision to become a musician.
Lee used to practice with his high school friends in the basement of their home with whom he had formed a band. He decided he would become a professional rock and roll player when they began making some money from their high school performances among other events and shows.
Geddy developed a reputation for spectacular skills playing bass and excellent performance and production of music. He is also very good at playing keyboards, singing, and juggling bass, even as he triggers pre-recorded accompaniments at the perfect moments in his performances.
Working with his bandmates in
Rush, Geddy Lee toured and performed all over Mexico, Canada, Brazil, and the United States.
