After years of captivating audiences as Chip Lee The Performa, Lee embarked on a new venture with the production ‘Sight & Sound’ in the early 2000s. This innovative project combined the art of DJing with live video footage, creating an immersive experience for viewers. The producers, seeking to distinguish this fresh endeavor from Chip Lee’s established presence, proposed a new stage name. Thus, Lee Tafari was born.

The name Lee Tafari held profound significance for the artist, who was already on a spiritual journey embracing Rastafari. It resonated with his path, embodying the principles of integrity and positive energy that he valued. To him, adopting the name Lee Tafari was not just an honor but a privilege that aligned with his life’s direction.

In a move that surprised many, Lee Tafari withdrew from the dancehall scene at a time considered by some to be the height of his career. This decision was not an end but a transition, a step towards a path that felt inherently right and true to his spirit. Lee Tafari’s evolution continues to unfold, guided by his deep-rooted values and artistic vision.
