Who Is Lee Vasi? The Hype Magazine Showcases the Breakout Christian R&B Star
Rising star Lee Vasi is making major waves in the music industry with her genre-bending sound and message-driven artistry. This week, the Atlanta-based Christian R&B artist returns with a brand-new single, “He Is,” dropping Friday, April 25. Following the success of recent releases like “GPS” and “My Bad Pt. II,” Lee’s newest track offers a refreshing blend of sultry R&B vocals and uptempo, 80s-inspired pop production.
At first listen, “He Is” feels like a classic love song — and it is. But what makes it stand out is the duality in meaning: while the lyrics speak to her personal relationship with God, the warmth and intimacy of the track allow fans to dedicate it to anyone they hold close. Lines like “cause I sleep so well at night knowing I’m His” carry a universal emotional weight, underscoring Lee’s talent for writing songs that transcend boundaries of faith and genre.
“He Is” gives fans a taste of her highly anticipated debut album, Love Me To Life, set to release May 30. The LP promises a bold fusion of R&B, Christian soul, and pop — with nods to her Latin heritage — inviting listeners on a vulnerable, melodic journey of healing, self-discovery, and faith. Influenced by her experiences with mental health and fractured relationships, Lee uses music as a form of restoration, offering an album that is as personal as it is powerful.
In 2024, Lee grabbed national attention with her viral single “Teach Me,” a raw, honest exploration of growth and surrender that soared to #2 on the Gospel Digital Song Sales chart and #21 on Hot Gospel Songs. From there, her star continued to rise — she became the first Christian R&B artist featured on GENIUS, made an appearance on “On The Radar,” and stunned viewers alongside Anike at the DOVE Awards and in viral Twitch streams with Kai Cenat and Speed.
A proud Afro-Latina artist with Puerto Rican-Dominican and African American roots, Lee’s musical journey began young — writing songs at age 10 while starring as Young Nala in The Lion King on Broadway. From American Idol to the digital spotlight, she’s remained authentic to her calling. Today, her bold lyrics, bilingual records, and faith-forward storytelling have earned her a loyal fanbase and positioned her as one of the most exciting artists redefining the sound of Christian R&B.
Whether you’re looking for soulful ballads, affirming anthems, or honest reflections, Lee Vasi is one to watch. And with Love Me To Life on the horizon, she’s just getting started.
