By the end of 2021, the videos of the full album had over 13 million views on YouTube. Over the years, Lee’s “Shine Your Love“ album has become a highly sought-after record for vinyl enthusiasts in book stores, record shops, and on Internet auction websites. In December 2014, Mr. Mays released the “Real Love“ compact disc. The 13 songs on the “Real Love“ CD contain a blend of smooth and romantic jazz sounds with a RnB/Soul flare. In 2014, the single “Give Me Another Chance“ featuring Fulton Turnage, was among the top 30 songs of the year in the UK at Global Soul Radio Station. From 2015 to 2022, Lee enjoyed tremendous success on the stages of the most prestigious European and US jazz clubs.
In 2022 and 2023, Lee won the award for Best Original Score at four separate film festivals including in Amsterdam, Calcutta, and Dubai. The awards were for his compositions in the Italian film, La Carrozza dei Sogni (The Carriage of Dreams), directed by Frances Sapphire.
