Hailing from Newport News, Va, Michael Lee has been performing and entertaining for as long as he can remember, and his real talents came to light when his family purchased their first video camera in 1988. Placed in front of the camera by his older cousin, Michael Lee took the starring role in many a commercial parody and tv spoof, never once shying away from what he was asked to do. Eventually, he would take the reigns as director.

In middle school, Michael Lee joined the String Orchestra as a Violinist, but would take up the Viola once reaching high school, an instrument he would continue playing well through college. During his career as a Violist he performed in both the Virginia Eastern Regional Orchestra and Virginia All-State Orchestra, and served as the Principal Violist with the University of Mississippi Orchestra in Oxford, MS and as the Principal Violist with the Corinth Symphony Orchestra in Corinth, MS.

While studying Film and Video Production at Full Sail University in 2003 & 2004, Michael Lee was once again bitten by the acting bug. In late 2004, he auditioned for Universal Orlando and was cast as an Animated Street Star. During his time with UO, he had the opportunity to perform as an actor, singer, and dancer both in-park and at special events including the Golden Woody Gala and the IAAPA Theme Park Convention in Orlando.

More recently, Michael Lee has had the privilege of working on several other creative projects. In mid-2007, he wrote, illustrated, and self-published his first graphic novel, “Startoons Super Force.” In 2010 and 2011, he produced dance numbers which were performed at the Celebration Relay for Life. In 2011, he began directing and producing web videos for Crash UR Party, an events entertainment company. In 2013, Michael Lee launched his own Youtube channel, which eventually led to the creation of The Geek Soapbox in mid-2014.
