KOTA Artist Spotlight: Godspeed Astral Introducing Christopher W. Lee, the vibrant force behind Godspeed Astral, whose life has been a symphony in the making. Emerging from a lineage of musicians and performers, his destiny was clear from the start. The chords of violin and piano struck a chord in elementary school, and the bass guitar throbbed with passion in a church youth band during middle school. College unleashed his charisma as the frontman of “PREM!ERE,” igniting stages for renowned acts like “Hawthorne Heights,” “HRVRD,” and “Me Talk Pretty.” Post-band triumphs propelled Chris to soar solo as “Godspeed Astral.” Collaborating with kindred spirits, he birthed “illadef,” an artistic collective featuring luminaries like Nimbus Deloud, Terrence Powers, Krashendo, Wavy Jones, Cruzko, and Most Some. Starting as a promotional entity, “illadef” rapidly evolved into a powerhouse Indie DIY Entertainment haven, radiating from the heart of Philadelphia. Their sonic footprint graces prestigious stages like NOTO, CODA, Johnnie Walker Lounge, Warehouse on Watts, Rec and Royal and the iconic SilkCity, etching an unforgettable auditory experience. Want a preview of what to expect at KOTA? Hit the link in our bio and head to mixcloud to listen to his latest mix 🎧 Tickets to KOTA can be found in the link in our bio 🎟️
