LEE COLE has steadily been making his musical presence known, one pristinely produced pop song at a time.
Raised in Joburg, Lee Cole first gained attention in 2017 through his cover of the hit ‘Akanamali’ which has garnered over 320,000 views on YouTube to date. That same year, Cole released his first string of songs which saw rotation on a selection of SA’s biggest radio stations.
2020 was the big year for Lee as he released his breakout singles ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’ and ‘Pink Dragons’ which saw him charting on major radio stations across South Africa – 947, KFM, Jacaranda FM, East Coast Radio, Algoa FM, Heart FM and OFM. Another highlight of the year included a performance for the Princes Trust.
He released ‘Honey, Let Me In’ as his first single of 2021 and once again raced into the radio charts across SA with success on 5FM, KFM, Good Hope FM (peaked at #1), OFM, Algoa FM (peaked at #1) and more! He performed at the SAFTAs (South African Film and Television Awards) in April 2021 and continued the success throughout the rest of the year with the release of ‘Emotional’ (charting on Good Hope FM, Jacaranda FM, 5FM, OFM, etc) and most recently ‘Cold’ (currently on the 947 TOP 40 chart).
Lee steps into 2022 with a string of hit singles following 2 years of incredible success topping charts across radio. Following an incredible tour across the Eastern and Western Cape in Feb and March 2022 (which including performing at KFM’s popular KDAY event on Sat 5 March), he released his brand-new single “No Fear, No Tears” on Friday the 13th of May. The single is already bursting onto playlists and charts across SA, including KFM, 947, Algoa FM (peaking at #1 on Sat 13 Aug), Good Hope FM and East Coast Radio, to name a few.
His latest single “With or Without You”, released on Friday 2 September, has already entered the KFM Top 40, EAST COAST RADIO TOP 40, and Algoa FM Top 30 charts. This single is also one of the TOP 10 MOST PLAYED Local singles currently on radio.
With vocal influences ranging from rock titans Queen and AC/DC, to pop icon Michael Jackson, Lee Cole’s sound has been shaped by the multiple genres that he’s taken in over the years, resulting in a pop-rooted sound that’s flecked with his unique vocal stylings.

THE LEARNING INITIATIVE
The Learning Initiative was established in 2014, with the aim of making professional services available to children from disadvantaged communities to ensure that they can reach their potential in school and beyond. Research has repeatedly shown that early identification and intervention is crucial for optimal functioning and self-actualisation. In 2016 TLI partnered with the Western Cape Department of Social Development to develop, test and implement a ground-breaking, therapeutic intervention that promotes holistic child development in 4-5 year old children. The founder and Director is Dr Ingrid Ahlert a Counselling Psychologist with 15 years experience both in private practice and in the public sector. She has worked with multi-disciplinary teams at various schools, focusing on enhancing the resilience of children with learning barriers.
The Learning Initiative aims to:
- identify young children who are at risk of developmental delays and potential barriers to learning through professional screening and assessment
- provide trans-disciplinary interventions that promote holistic child development and focus on addressing barriers to learning
- encourage active parent, practitioner and community involvement in the stimulation and education of young children
- build capacity within the school, family and community through training, support and resources
- advocate for the importance of quality ECD programmes in South Africa.
Help us to help The Learning Initiative help more children who face barriers to learning. Follow TLI on Facebook, Instagram or contact them today on 021- 3001464.
