Early life

Oliver Lee was educated at the Skinners' School, in Tunbridge Wells. Oliver Lee started out in music at a young age in the late 2000s, playing a variety of instruments, from keyboard to tambourine, for mariachi bands. He paid his dues whilst in the band, with his repertoire consisting of popular covers of hits from the era, a practice typical for the time.

The pair crossed paths in Hong Kong in summer 2012, whilst working on separate projects at notable sake bar, Sake Bar Ginn. [1] They bonded over similar music tastes and agreed to meet again to discuss all things music before the trip was over. [2] Both Carter and Lee forgot this engagement; as luck would have it however, the pair were reconnected on a flight travelling to London and agreed to work together in the studio. After success working in the studio with Jane and Jeff Purse, [3] the two decided to call their project Snakehips.
