Beantown Singer Still Shooting for the Stars

Summary


In 2006, Lee Wilson was hailed by Vibe magazine as the "Top Unsigned Artist in America." Since then, the Dorchester native has appeared as a guest performer on BET and the "Fox 25 Morning News," toured the East Coast, endured rejection and homelessness, and opened for artists like [John Mayer] Legend and "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino.

After everything that Wilson has put out, it looks like the universe might finally have something to give back to him. Amid his struggles, Wilson delights in small victories - just a couple of months ago, his new self-written single "Can I Get Your Number?" was featured on an episode of MTVs "The Real World: Brooklyn."

"The first time I knew I wanted to sing was when I was 6 or 7 and I saw a group called The Boys performing on television," he said. "The second time was when I was 11. I saw Usher performing and that's when I really wanted to become a star."
