Making Waves: The Beginning of LEE-U’s Creative Journey

Making Waves – Where Music Became the Core

Making Waves is the debut creative project that marked the official beginning of LEE-U’s journey as a Vietnamese multidisciplinary artist. More than a single release, Making Waves represents a defining moment — the point where LEE-U’s artistic direction became clear: music would lead, and film would follow.

This project laid the foundation for a creative universe where emotion is expressed first through sound, then expanded through cinematic imagery.

From Sound to Image: A Unified Creative Vision

At the heart of Making Waves is a simple but intentional idea — music is not supported by visuals; visuals are shaped by music. Rather than creating songs for films or films for songs, LEE-U approached the project as one continuous emotional experience.

Each musical element informed the visual language, allowing melodies, lyrics, and rhythm to guide pacing, atmosphere, and storytelling. This approach positioned Making Waves as an early statement of LEE-U’s identity as a music and film artist.

Emotional Minimalism as a Signature Style

Making Waves introduced audiences to LEE-U’s signature aesthetic: emotional minimalism. The project avoids excess and spectacle, focusing instead on subtle emotion, quiet movement, and cinematic restraint.

This minimalistic approach allows listeners and viewers to project their own feelings into the work, creating a personal and intimate connection.

A Turning Point in Artistic Identity

With Making Waves, music, film, and visual storytelling no longer existed separately — they became parts of one evolving narrative. The project marked the moment LEE-U fully embraced the role of a multidisciplinary artist.

Building a Foundation for Future Projects

As LEE-U develops projects for 2025–2026, the influence of Making Waves remains present — not as a repeated formula, but as a guiding philosophy centered on emotional coherence and cinematic storytelling.

More Than a Debut Project

Making Waves stands as the beginning of LEE-U’s creative journey — a project where intention met execution, and where music first led the way.
