Founder & CEO
Ricky Lee
With a deep-rooted passion for the arts and decades of experience in the entertainment
industry, Ricky Lee has carved out a dynamic career as both a producer and a creative force. In the 1990s, he founded Gladiator Records, forging powerful industry alliances with Interscope Records, Tommy Boy Records’ Tom Silverman, and Warner Bros. His work as a manager and producer led to collaborations with iconic artists, including the legendary hip-hop supergroup The Four Horsemen (HRSMN)—Canibus, Ras Kass, Kurupt, and Killah Priest.
Over the years, his influence has extended beyond music, shaping impactful experiences in film, storytelling, and mentorship. As the founder of Strike Star Entertainment, Ricky continues to push creative boundaries, bringing authentic stories to life. His commitment to education and talent development led to the launch of Strike Star’s Screenwriting Workshops in 2023—a charitable initiative created alongside his late business partner, Paul Eckstein. After Paul’s untimely passing that same year, Ricky ensured the program thrived in his honor, providing young, aspiring filmmakers with invaluable training in scriptwriting and production.
Now entering its third year, the 2025 Strike Star Screenwriting Workshop will take place June 3-4 in Kingston, Jamaica, at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. The event will feature an impressive lineup of industry professionals, from directors and producers to top writers and executives, all dedicated to inspiring and mentoring the next generation of storytellers. Ricky Lee’s unwavering dedication to the arts continues to drive Strike Star Entertainment’s mission: to nurture talent, celebrate Jamaican culture, and produce powerful, meaningful content for a global audience. His vision, passion, and relentless pursuit of storytelling excellence create moments that leave a lasting impact—one project at a time.
