When I tell people about what I do, sometimes It feels like I’m not a real person… but I’ve just always been into creating. I’m a full time bladesmith/blacksmith during the day, and an active musician and photographer whenever time allows. Over the last decade, I have made over 1500 Knives for top chefs, and enthusiastic cooks all over the world. As a bassist I’ve toured the country as a sideman and solo artist, and released records with Justin Tibbs, Ryan Humbert, Via Lotus, and as a soloist as well. I’ve always loved photography and have been recently working on a collection of portraits.

“As a renowned tone freak, I absolutely reveled in the various tones Jared Lees used.  His use of tone is a compositional tool that is used with sensitivity and creativity.”- Vuyani Wakabi, Bass Musician Magazine.
