Singer/Songwriter Nick Leyand is a prolific songwriter that provides the majority of the band's material, although significant writing contributions have been made by all band members. Strydir Lee was founded by Nick Leyland and drummer Jon Wilson in early 1998. At the time Nick was playing with the band Middle Earth. Middle Earth's drummer was unable to play a particular gig, so they called upon Jon Wilson to fill in. Jon played the gig with the Middle Earth and immediately the jazz/pop influences that Jon brought to the band inspired Nick to break off and work with Jon. Thier collaboration led to the creatation of a new and unique sound. After a few months of working out new musical ideas, Nick and Jon were joined by lead guitarist Ron Dielman. In 1999 the band recorded their first self titled LP at the Creme Delux studios under the guidance of Jared Levengood.
