For Los-Angeles based artist Roni Lee, music has always been the perfect vessel of true, unadulterated expression. With a life journal full of memories and experiences that span a highly-decorated 40-year career in music, Lee is a prime example of a self made woman in rock and roll who has managed to transcend boundaries, subvert expectations, and always live life to the fullest.

Roni began her career without hesitation, as she relocated to Hollywood, CA at the age of 17. It wasn’t long before she snapped up a position as lead guitarist in the rock band Venus and the Razorblades, a project produced by Kim Fowley. Los Angeles was the epicenter of rock and roll, and Roni Lee found herself sharing stages with the likes of Van Halen, the Ramones, Steppenwolf, The Motels, and Blondie in the late '70s.
