Lee Malia
Lee Malia is a British guitarist best known as the lead guitarist and founding member of the rock band Bring Me the Horizon. Born on June 4, 1987, in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, he helped form the band in 2004, contributing to their evolution from heavy deathcore to a more experimental rock and electronic sound. Influenced by artists such as Metallica, Pantera, and Gary Moore, Malia is known for his riff-driven style, blending classic metal with modern tones. Over the years, his gear choices—often favoring Les Paul-style guitars and powerful amp setups—have played a significant role in shaping the band’s sonic identity, particularly on key albums like Sempiternal and That’s the Spirit. He has released several signature guitars through brands like Epiphone and Jackson. Outside of music, Malia is a private family man, respected for his low-key persona despite being part of one of the UK’s most high-profile rock acts.
