Sook-Yin Lee is widely known throughout Canada as a gifted musician, actor, filmmaker, television host and producer. She first garnered national attention as the lead singer of the influential Vancouver alternative band Bob’s Your Uncle. She subsequently released several solo albums, performed in a wide range of theatre, film and television projects, and in 1995 became a VJ for national music video network MuchMusic. There she proved herself to be a thoughtful and articulate host and interviewer whose inside knowledge of music proved an enormous benefit in establishing a rapport with her subjects.
Since leaving MuchMusic, Sook-Yin has remained in the public eye with a featured role in the film version of the stage musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch and the romantic lead in the Canadian Film Centre-produced feature The Art of Woo. She was also the passionate advocate for Terry Fox in the CBC Television series The Greatest Canadian. With her inquiring mind, kaleidoscopic range of talents and her comfort with all aspects of the media, Sook-Yin is uniquely suited for the hectic and eclectic DNTO hosting role.
