Rapper, songwriter, and model Spence Lee’s creations are inspired by his Vietnamese and Chinese heritage and the multicultural New Jersey community he grew up in. His favorite way to express himself is by drawing designs on the clothing he wears during performances. Bing Image Creator is helping him visualize his abundance of ideas without needing an abundance of materials. So far, he’s used Bing to generate images for his stage outfits, his music video “Spend My Days”, and a backdrop for his show.

Spence Lee is part of 88rising, an Asian media collective collaborating with Microsoft to showcase musicians, artists, and video producers. These creatives are connecting with fans in novel ways using Microsoft AI, Azure, Cognitive Services, and Custom Neural Voice, while expanding their fan base.
