In 1973 Lee Shapiro joined Frankie Valli as one of the legendary Four Seasons.
As keyboardist/ conductor, Lee toured the world performing classic hits like "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Sherry", and "My Eyes Adored You". Lee was also the musical director and arranger on the multi-million sellers "Oh, What A Night" and "Who Loves You". In the 1980's Lee collaborated with hit songwriters such as L. Russell Brown, Sandy Linzer and Irwin Levine, writing music for the hot recording artists of the day. In 1990 Lee formed Lee Shapiro Music, a creative company providing music for advertising and the media. Countless TV themes and commercials were created for NBC, CBS, ABC, Coca Cola, Budweiser, and on and on. In 1991, Lee collaborated with Barry Manilow in the production of his show "Copacabana". In 1999, Lee diversified his talents and created the "must have" toys of 2000, "Rock N Roll Elmo" and "Rock N' Roll Ernie" for Mattel/ Fisher-Price. Most recently Lee Shapiro Music has been providing music for live stage shows in theaters and cruise ships. "In our digital studios we combine state of the art technology with the most talented singers and musicians to create the most dramatic and exciting music."
Located in Fort Lee, New Jersey, Lee Shapiro has been on the NYC music scene
for three decades. "Leaving Manhattan School of Music at nineteen years of age to become one of Frankie Valli's Four Seasons was an eye-opening experience that gave me the opportunity to see the world and perfect my craft. Orchestrations and arrangements were written on planes and in hotel rooms and performed the same night, sometimes without rehearsal." Playing to sell out audiences in venues such as the London Paladium, The Sydney Opera House, The Grand Ole Opry and Madison Square Garden gave Lee the vehicle to meet and ultimately collaborate with stars ranging from Barry Manilow and Chaka Kahn to the London Symphony Orchestra.
