Lisa grew up singing at the Compton Heights Baptist Church in south St. Louis, but now splits her time between Brooklyn, New York and Paris, France. She is equally adept at French chanson, as indicated by her album MÉS TRUCS PRÉFÉRÉS (2022), as she is at performing old-school soul, captured on her album AIN'T NO GOOD MAN (2021). AIN’T NO GOOD MAN was Lisa’s cathartic rise from the ashes of a relationship-gone-wrong that landed at #21 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart and featured The Soul Queen of New Orleans, Irma Thomas, founding member of The Meters, Cyril Neville and the late, great Walter "Wolfman" Washington on guitar, in addition to the privilege of working with 20+ grammy-winning producer/mixing engineer, Al Schmitt, at Capitol Records and writing commercially for the recording industry as well as the stage with her partner and grammy-nominated producer and songwriter, Tor Hyams. Lisa's fourth and latest studio album, OH DANG! (2024) has received critical acclaim for its joyful, upbeat, disco-pop-r&b-soul vibe à la Silk Sonic and features Brian Vander Ark of The Verve Pipe fame. 

​

Though Lisa as a Masters in Opera from Boston University and even co-starred on Broadway in Mel Brooks' THE PRODUCERS, Lisa is constantly chasing the spirit of her grandmother's church, bringing wisdom and soul to everything she does.

 

But St. Lou is more than a singer. She is leading her own personal and joyful reckoning, reclaiming the woman who went through it, came out the other side, and lived to

tell the tale.
