Laura Lee (bassist)

Laura Lee Ochoa[1] (born October 14, 1986), also known as Leezy, is an American musician and singer-songwriter, best known as the bass guitarist and one of the founding members of musical trio Khruangbin.

The daughter of Mexican-American parents,[2] Ochoa played piano and guitar as a child, but picked up bass at the suggestion of future bandmate Mark Speer.

[4] At the time, Ochoa was interested in playing piano again and Speer suggested she "follow the sound of the bass," which reframed her approach.

"[5] She is the band's creative director, using her training in art and architecture to set up staging and create choreography and graphic design.

[9] Both she and Speer sport long black wigs while performing[10] and "Leezy" goes through many costume changes throughout a show.
