Brand-new Arista Nashville artist Kristy Lee continued to establish her roots in Music City by affiliating with BMI at the organization's Nashville office. In addition to joining BMI, Lee recently inked a deal with Britney Spears' newly-formed production company as its debut artist. Superstar Spears, also a BMI affiliate, has already agreed to make a cameo appearance in Lee's first video.

The 17-year-old singer claims Selma, Oregon as her home, although recent months have been spent attending to business matters in Nashville and performing live in various venues in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Lee adds horses and softball to her passions beyond music. She is managed by Marty Rendleman, who formerly managed LeAnn Rimes.
