ABOUT DEE
National recording artist and saxophonist Dee Lucas has been noted as the most consistent and hardest-working indie artist in the entire music industry while steadily growing his brand and fan base, beginning with Remembrance in 2004. Thereafter, it has been a steady showcase of unique stylings with Something to Ride 2 (2007), Standing Room Only (2010), Rebirth of the Smooth (2012), The Smooth Factor (2014), Going Deeper (2016), The Sweet Spot (2017), Going Left (2018), the critically-acclaimed The Time Is Now (2020), the outstanding offering of No Boundaries (2023), and now his much anticipated upcoming release title “Twenty” which celebrates his 20 years as solo recording artist. This captivating artist is a 3-time Billboard smooth jazz artist with four #1 hits across various smooth jazz charts.
“Listening to some of the talented sax players around the city was education enough to build a thirst to go home and mimic what they did. The combination of listening to a wealth of music and going to see local cats like Darian Emory, Antonio Allen, Sam Skelton, Jimmy Brown (Brick), and trumpeters Melvin Miller and Milkshake was truly enough to develop a personal vote of confidence and a sense of hunger
In 1997, Lucas got his start as a musician playing as a sideman in a local band, Between 9&7. The band recorded a CD, which was a moderate regional hit. Although he got performances, both rhythm and solos, Lucas felt it was time to develop his own by ensembling to demand more challenges within himself as both a musician and entrepreneur. So, on New Year's Eve of 1999, Lucas formed his own contemporary jazz trio, Xpressions. They produced and recorded a CD titled Footprints, which gained notoriety in regional markets. The record contained the classic hit People Make the World Go Round.
In 2004, Dee Lucas's entrepreneurial skills had surfaced, and his newly formed record label, Mo Better Recordings, was conceived. His debut solo CD, Remembrance, was released and independently distributed in 2005. Adding consistency to his young but surprising start, Dee released his sophomore CD, Something to Ride 2, in 2007, which peaked at #10 on the Smoothjazz.com's Top 50 Indie Charts. With this record, the saxman wanted to further develop his own distinctive sound as a solo artist.
