MITCHELL LEE

Age: 29

From: Columbia, South Carolina

Current City: Nashville, Tennessee

Mitchell is a woodworker in Nashville. He currently builds custom furniture and started renovating a shuttle bus into a tiny house/songwriters lounge. He decided to go to military college at Citadel in Charleston, with plans to attend dental school. His mom was supportive but always saw him as more of a rock star. Mitchell got some devastating news three weeks before graduation; his mother had passed away. This deeply affected Mitchell because he felt like his mom was disappointed that he wanted to be a dentist instead of following something he loved. So after graduation, he decided to forego dental school and pursue music. Mitchell put together a band and performed all around Charleston. The rest of the group wasn't taking it as seriously, so he moved to Nashville make it on his own.
