Ruling his own world

Tedman Lee wanted to be creative and different - now he's living that dream as a DJ and multimedia maker

Tedman Lee

It's 1996 and Tedman Lee is adjusting to life in America. Having just migrated to Ohio with his parents, the 10-year-old from Hong Kong speaks little English, has no friends in the US, and knows nothing except mainstream Hong Kong culture. He is lost.

But one day, the young boy turns on the radio and hears the song If I Ruled the World (Imagine That) by rappers Nas and Lauryn Hill. The beat, the flow, and the lyrics, Lee says in hindsight, "blew his mind". He knew instantly that he wanted to do something creative - as well as something different.
