Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee is famous for his speed and his passion for music. Lee took his passion and developed into something exceptional by opening a community music centre for Indian children in Govandi. Lee’s foundation ‘Mewsic’ works with local partners to give children, which consist mostly of rag pickers, an opportunity to play music instruments such as guitar, bongo and keyboard. 

Lee also played alongside with the children in the centre which is the first of its kind in India. Mewsic aims to use the joy and power of music to heal, educate, and empower underprivileged children in India.
