Lisa Lee, a leading figure in the country music industry who rose up through the ranks of broadcasting and most recently served as senior VP of creative and content for the Academy of Country Music…
The country stars paying tribute to Lee included Kenny Chesney . “Lisa Lee and I grew up together in this business. She was a TV reporter, producer, writer and big executive.,” said Chesney. “She covered my heroes and my friends; she wrote about me and my mother. She truly cared about country music – and I absolutely cared about her. Goodbye, my sweet friend.”
“Whatever was happening, she would make it okay,” Sussman continued. “Lisa could talk to anyone. When we were live on the red carpet, she could talk with everyone from a production assistant to a superstar like Garth Brooks – and make everybody feel welcome and comfortable. She really just wanted to do her job: to tell great stories, and not let the politics get in the way. And she did. Plus, she had a smile that could light up a room. She had me – as the line goes – at hello.
Her base in L.A. made her a natural for the Academy of Country Music, a switch she made in 2007. Lee was a liaison with CBS’s creative departments and website for promos and creative content surrounding the annual ACM Awards. She was named producer of “The Academy of Country Music Honors,” a live industry event dedicated to celebrating the Academy’s special award honorees, off-camera category winners, and ACM Industry and Studio Recording Awards winners — i.e.
“Lisa has always been a light inside our industry,” said country superstar Luke Bryan. “Her ability for telling not only my story but the story of so many was unmatched because it was from her heart. She truly loved her job and it showed on her face every time she was around. I will miss her.”
