Lee McKinney is best known as the guitarist and composer of the Progressive Metal band Born of Osiris. He produces, records, and engineers out of Osiris Studios. Born Lee Patrick McKinney on April 24, 1989, he grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Lee picked up the guitar at age 10 and knew immediately that music was his passion. To that end, he began practicing up to 6-10 hours a day in effort to become the most he could be at his instrument. Some of his early influences include Randy Rhoads, Eric Johnson, Dimebag Darrell, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani, and more.
In 2007 at the age of 17, Born of Osiris was offered a record contract from Sumerian Records. Not only have they performed on stages with Judas Priest, Rob Zombie, Bring Me The Horizon, and more, but they also landed four consecutive entries on the Billboard Top 200, including “A Higher Place” [2009], “The Discovery” [2011], “Tomorrow We Die Alive” [2013], and “Soul Sphere” [2015]. By looking back, the group made a major leap forward. They spent 2017 performing their breakthrough 2007 debut “The New Reign” in its entirety on the road. The band’s 2019 record “The Simulation” has them sitting in their best and brightest place yet, over a decade into existence.
In Spring 2019, Lee McKinney released his debut solo album, entitled “Infinite Mind” through Sumerian Records. While only have been out for a matter of months, it has seen overwhelming positive review and critical acclaim.
