The Life I Lead are a bunch of guys from all over New York City who believe hard work and passion will always work out in the end. The music industry is changing rapidly and this band understands that nowadays, a lot can be accomplished without a fancy record deal and others doing the work. They're a band who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and do things on their own; all the writing, producing, designing, booking, and promoting is done by the band. They also tie their own shoes.
