Personal profile
Lee Robert grew up in Phoenix, AZ, home of the Sonoran desert of the Southwest. Three-part harmony with her brother and twin sister was her favorite child's play. Lee wrote her first song at 12 years old, and started her professional singing career at the age of 14, performing in coffee houses and folk clubs. Exploring the performing arts through dance also became a passion for Lee. She had the opportunity to study at the Martha Graham Schools in both London, England and New York City. She eventually graduated from Arizona State University with a B.A. with an emphasis in performing arts. Over the next two decades she worked as “Lee Robert and Friends” regularly inviting other musicians to join her in a variety of alliances, venues, and musical styles including jazz, country, blues and folk. She eventually worked her way up to singing at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, where she worked with a 13-piece orchestra. In 1986 Lee joined her father, Cavett Robert, in business and pursued professional speaking. Cavett Robert is the founder of the National Speakers Association. Lee created her own niche in the speaking industry by combining public speaking with original music and she performed all over the U.S., England, Finland, Germany, and New Zealand for audiences as large as 25,000 people. In 1999 Lee met her husband, Rick Flory, an entrepreneur and conservationist. Lee joined Rick in furthering his work promoting conservation and the protection of our environment. Lee has authored two books: one biography on her father entitled Cavett Robert, Leaving a Lasting Legacy. Her other book is a business book co-authored by Dr. Judith Tingley entitled: Gendersell: How to Sell to the Opposite Sex published by Simon and Schuster. Lee uses songwriting and storytelling to inspire people to connect in a deeper way to themselves and their world. Lee’s involvement with Earth Friends inspired a lot of creativity, and in 2010 she released her fifth CD of original music. Lee performs regularly at concerts, corporate events, private events and churches. She is well-known for the variety of genres which she has mastered, including repertoires from the 1920's, 30's, 40's, jazz standards, blues, folk and country and her own original music that is influenced by all of these genres and that she calls "Cowgirl Jazz." Lee and her husband, Rick, spend winters in Paradise Valley, AZ and summers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Her newest CD, "Western Stars" has been released as of September 2012 and you may listen and purchase by clicking on the album cover on the home page!
