Jazz Singer Lisa
Starting as a band singer with Franz Jackson taught Lisa how to swing with Chicago style from a true legend. Since then, Lisa has had the opportunity to take her voice around the world. These experiences have shaped her into the artist she is today as she continues to infuse the arrangements of her favorite jazz standards and original music with international rhythm and flavor.
Lisa has also had the chance to study, both on and off the stage, with some of the most respected artists in Jazz, including Gene Bertoncini, Franz Jackson, Terell Stafford, John Harmon, Fred Sturm, and Janet Planet.
Lisa’s career has helped her realize her greatest passions, namely music and travel. She has traveled extensively, bringing her voice to Europe, Asia, North, Central & South America while having the chance to perform for dignitaries such as the ambassadors to Brazil, Portugal, Thailand, Guatemala, and Germany, as well as members of the Canadian Government and even the Princess of Tonga. Though her repertoire includes songs in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, it is her heartfelt and soulful interpretation that resonates with listeners.
Her voice is as unique as it is versatile and is as pleasant to listen to as it is technically sound. From song choice to interpretation, Lisa seems to have her heart in sync with the pulse of what's happening now, endearing listeners young and old to the Joy of Jazz.
