Latasha Lee draws inspiration from the music she listened to growing up in Corpus Christi — Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, and others. After starting in hip hop, Lee teamed up with Texas producer Salih Williams to shape a new sound that pulls from the music of her childhood and transforms it into a classic soul sound reminiscent of the late Amy Winehouse.
Fresh off the announcement that Lee will be performing at the upcoming ACL Fest with her band The Black Ties, Texas Music Matters’ David Brown caught up with her for a conversation.
