==Career==
===Acting=== Lee and her family arrived in Hollywood in January 2010. Within her first few weeks, Lee landed a role in a national TV commercial for Comcast with actor Zachary Levi (''Chuck'', ''Less Than Perfect''). She was then cast in a short film, ''The Circus Girl'', as Elizaveta, a young Russian villain who is traveling with a struggling circus family.
Following ''The Circus Girl'', Lee went on to television series ''Zeke and Luther'' and ''Hart of Dixie''. In August 2012, Lee was cast in the Universal Studios film ''Kick-Ass 2'', which was based on the second volume of the ''Kick-Ass'' comic book series by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. The film, directed by Jeff Wadlow, was released in August 2013.
In 2014, Lee appeared in the Fox comedy series ''Surviving Jack''.
===Singing=== In 2010 Lee began working with music producer Max DiCarlo. In November of that year, Lee released her first song and music video, "It Gets Better", inspired by a national campaign aimed at stopping bullying. Lee's debut album, ''Here Right Now'', was released in February 2012. "Hollywood Sunset", a song on the album, had previously been released in September 2011. The next two singles from the album, the country-rap song "3 Leaf Clover", and "Take My Hand" that Lee performed on ''Hart of Dixie'', were released in 2012.
