Lee Vasi’s Story

Lee Vasi is an Atlanta-based Christian R&B artist with a soulful, contemporary sound and an empowering message. She found mainstream success in 2024 with the release of the Billboard-charting single “Teach Me. “Vasi‘s Puerto Rican-Dominican and African American heritage provided her with an expansive set of musical blueprints to work from, and by the age of ten, she was writing her own songs and appearing in the Broadway production of The Lion King in the role of Young Nala.

In 2018, Vasi was a contestant on the 16th season of American Idol, making it into the Top 50 but unable to advance to the final 24. The experience led to a period of personal evaluation that found the young singer-songwriter embracing her Christian faith. 2023 saw the release of “My Bad,” which gained social media traction after her bilingual rendition of the song went viral. “Teach Me” appeared the following year and proved Vasi‘s first chart success, reaching number two on the Billboard Gospel Digital Song Sales chart and number 21 on the Hot Gospel Songs list.
