Personal Brand Exploration - Amber Lee
- 1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION Amber Le e Project & Portfolio I: Week 1 April 7th, 2022
- 2. I’m Amber “Amari”Lee, also known as Amber Lee. I grew up in a family of musicians, from my great grandfather who played the accordion to my mother and her siblings who had their own band in the 90’s. I was always surrounded by music. Music was always my escape, my safe place where I was able to fi nd the right song that would express how I felt. Now I’m taking my own experiences to build a safe place for musicians to explore their own creativity and to help others who may feel the same way as they do. My goal is to change the way people look at music, music is a story that is being told that could inspire others and give listeners a safe place to escape too. IDENTITY
