Information

Lee Brotherton (as he was first known as, since that's his real name) began his career doing remixes for many English artists, before landing at SEGA with his first song Dreams of an Absolution for the 2006 game, Sonic the Hedgehog. After a few more songs added to the series, he split from his group, Remix Factory to do solo work.

One of his biggest songs that got noticed was his cover of Hamasaki Ayumi's sixth single, "Depend on you" in which she praised his work. After that, he did more remixes for English artists and announced he's releasing his debut album under EMI Music Japan. The promotional song, "Sunao ni Naretara ~FINAL NIGHT~" did actually well on Recochoku reaching #5. In 2008, he released his album of Japanese covers, TRANS//LATION.

But because of the lack of promotion and hard times the company had, Lee parted ways with the company and started his own up, Remix Factory Music.
