Daniel Lee Martin

Since he was old enough to walk, this country boy from Florida was knee deep in the mud or in the water. Before there were girls, there were tree-stands, fishing poles and guitars. Camo and cowboy hats were an early statement that let folks know, I’m country, and proud of it. Introduced to the outdoors at an early age by his father. Daniel Lee wanted to experience all that mother nature had to offer, and he did. From Tarpon fishing off the coast of Tarpon Springs to hog hunting in the panhandle. Turkey hunting near Orlando and bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee, you couldn’t contain the adventure in Daniel Lee. In the summer of 1997, this former advertising executive [from New Port Richey, FL] left all he ever knew to pursue his heart 'n soul dream... to make his mark and ink his name in the country music history books. After spending just a few short years in Music City USA, this singer/songwriter slowly came to the conclusion that he didn't quite fit the major label mold...and he knew himself well enough to know that being told what kind of music he should sing, how he should walk or talk, what he should wear, or the crowd he should be hanging out with wasn’t going to fit his character. Daniel Lee knew exactly who he was way before he arrived in Music City, and that would be the very reason for his success. He is now the host of Backstage & Backroads a life-style show that airs on the Sportsman's Channel.
