“The voice is at once weary and wise, saturated with longing and loss. She sings of long-distance love and wishy-washy beaus, declaring with take-it-or-leave-it determination: "This is the way I love." In many ways, acoustic pop singer Chelsea Lee knows not of what she sings -- she is, after all, only 17. But she says imagination can take you far.  Open-mike nights at Jammin' Java in Vienna launched her career. She was 14. Soon, Lee was opening for such artists as Grammy-winning Marc Cohn and Alexa Ray Joel. A sold-out solo show at Jammin' Java and a self-titled EP followed.   She sings. It's what she does. Chelsea Lee sings like she means it, with a voice that services the emotion of the song. It's a voice that carries joy and pain into the heart of the listener, with unbridled passion that borders on obsession.”

"Northern Virginia native Chelsea Lee has made some fun summer plans -- she'll celebrate her 17th birthday in June, hang out with her friends and family and, oh yeah, perform as the opening act for Pat Benatar at a festival in Loudoun County."

“Kicking off the entertainment at the lounge was youngster singer/songwriter Chelsea Lee. She proved that big things can come in small packages as her frame betrayed her pipes. A voice like that of a 10-year veteran of the pop game came bounding out of a body that has yet to see college. "

"Rarely do I receive a CD from a new artist that is this well written, produced, and sung. For it to come from someone still in high school, and this mature a work, is nothing short of amazing."

- Michael Jaworek, The Birchmere (Jan 10, 2008)

"For someone who wants to make a splash in the music business, Chelsea Lee has all of the necessary tools. A clear, concise vocal range, on-stage charisma and presence, an ever-adapting style that blends pop, folk, and soul, and those innocent girl-next-door killer looks. "

3. -“So let's get this out of the way now: Chelsea Lee is 17. As in, born in 1991.
   

It's not a gimmick, it's just the chronological way things are. It's too easy to say she sings beyond her years, but she does. The maturity and professionalism showcased on stage and on disc are hallmarks of seasoned veterans, yet the chestnut haired charmer -- who carries herself with the same sophistication as she performs -- has it all. And she mixes the professionalism with youthful enthusiasm because singing is fun. It's what she does.”
