Hi! I'm Lee. Welcome to my blog. Here we talk music: news, reviews, interviews, tips, tutorials and more. I'm also working on the upcoming podcast Influenced as a guest, writer and researcher alongside music aficionado Mark Williams and friends. Watch this space! I have been a lover of music for as long as I can remember, an amateur lyricist for 25 years, a music writer for 15 years and a hobbyist musician and blogger for almost 10 years. My tastes range from jazz to house to hip hop and I love helping artists from all genres develop their sound. My music, videos, reviews and interviews have been featured in a variety of magazines and websites, including: B-Boy Tech Report Gimme That Beat Humanhuman Audio Skills Dream House Beats Where Did the Road Go Beat Tape Co-Op Push Power Promo Drum Magazine You can find my music on Bandcamp: Monkey Mind Sounds AKA LeeTNB And you can find me on Facebook: The New Beatmaker page Lee's personal page

The New Beatmaker is very proud to present the penultimate in a series of videos capturing live, intimate performances from students and alumni of the world famous Berklee College of Music.
In a Christmas bumper special, we have, from top to bottom: Latin jazz courtesy of 3 Sudacas, with their original composition "Tarde de Abril"; The Berklee Indian Ensemble cover A. R. Rahman's 'Jiya Jale" (Dil Se)' in honour of the living legend visiting Berklee; the supercharged metal of 'Concrete Kitten' by Aviations; the jazz of Simon Moullier Quintet's 'Birth'; folk in the shape of Laney Jones and the Lively Spirits; and last but definitely not least, we have 'Wild Bird' from a band that may just defies classification, so you will have to hear them to believe them, Apoena.
The New Beatmaker would like to wish all the artists below and all involved at Berklee a Merry Christmas / happy Holiday season. Look for more 'Live at Berklee' in the New Year.
