Lee Anderson was born 43 years ago in Christchurch, New Zealand. After finishing his secondary school education he studied Electronics and Telecommunications for 2 years before travelling to America to obtain a Diploma in Professional Music from Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Upon returning from overseas he taught harmony and theory classes in New Zealand before moving to Australia in 1984 where he freelanced as a pianist in various bands before entering the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music as a student in 1987.

Around the same time he joined Australia's premiere bebop group "Now's the Time" lead by Andrew Speight, Joe 'Bebop' Lane's Jazz Cats and the Sydney All Stars Big Band which contained the cream of Sydney's top musicians.

Since then he has played in assorted Jazz groups, Funk groups, Big Bands and Latin bands and has become a much sort after accompanist for vocalists and performers.

More recently he has branched into Web Site Design, creating and building web sites for Worldmusic Corporation, Frank Bennett, Derek Williams, Ralph Pyl, Groove Merchants and many others.
