about aqareo

Aqareo is a study in form, sound, and intention.  Rooted in over three decades of performance and shaped across more than 20 countries, the work reflects a cultivated range—refined through discipline, experience, and restraint.

Born Lee Andrew Williams in West Plains, Missouri, the artist trained in improvisational jazz, classical voice, musical theatre, and composition. At 18, he was selected for the United States Navy Music Program as a contemporary and rock vocalist and keyboardist, serving for 20 years.

Now in Phoenix, performances have included a curated selection of venues throughout the Southwest, including The Italiano, JW Marriott Camelback, The Global Ambassador Hotel, The Ashley Castle, The Wrigley Mansion, Duelies Sports and Piano Bar, Twin Arrows Casino, and The Westin Kierland Resort.

The self-titled album marks a defining statement.
Thirteen tracks, written, performed, and produced by Aqareo.

Recorded at Imperial Audio in Tempe, Arizona, in collaboration with engineer Alejandro Gordillo, the project brings together a refined collective of Phoenix-based musicians.  

A conceptual work exploring transformation and continuity—where themes of love, detachment, gratitude, wonder, mystery, romance, fatherhood, inspiration, and truth are rendered with precision and restraint.
