Lisa is a singer-songwriter & musician from Timmins, Canada. Lisa was born in Timmins, Ontario, and grew up in Wawa, Ontario, which is 3.5 hours away from Timmins. Her primary instrument is the guitar. Secondaries are the flute, drums, and accordion.

The artist’s influences encompass all music styles and types. From pop to rock, to country, and rap. Her favorite is 80’s rock. The timeless sound evokes memories.

She grew up listening to Megadeth, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, NINE INCH NAILS… Journey, Heart, Toronto, Eric Clapton, Faith Hill, and Shania Twain. Her influences are across the board.

Lisa was surrounded by music from a young age. She is from a musical family with talented musicians on both sides of the family. It was natural to dabble in music. She picked up the guitar at age 12, learning by ear on her own.

“We didn’t have YouTube at the time. I sat in my bedroom with my guitar and would listen to some Eric Clapton and would pause the music, figure it out, rewind, play again, try to figure it out… until I did, then continued the song. I spent hours learning songs by ear, figuring out chords and what sounded right and did not.”

Christmas time in a traditional French home means the wooden spoons, the violins, the guitars, the accordions, mandolins, and of course the, singing. Singing came naturally, and she discovered her voice at 11 years old. She joined the elementary school choir and had the best music teachers. Mademoiselle Corrine Thomas and Mme Rancourt, accompanied by Mme Besner on piano. They taught her how to harmonize.

“Not only did I get it right, but I knew the difference between hitting the wrong note and landing it every time because it sounds right to the ear. I can’t read a musical note to save my life, but if a bassist, guitarist, or vocalist hits a wrong note, I’ll catch it immediately.”

A personal reflection from the artist:

“If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting. If you want to change, YOU must change and make the right decisions based on what YOU want. It’s your life; live it for you. Nobody will live it for you or make your dreams come true. Only YOU can make that happen. Don’t wish on anything. Take the proper steps to make it happen. Or you will wake up one day, an elderly, and regret that you have not gone for it. Tomorrow is never promised, so do it NOW.”

Lisa has played many gigs and festivals over the years, including the Stars And Thunder concert in her hometown of Timmins. Brian Adams, Blue Rodeo, Tom Cochrane, Keith Urban, and many more artists were on the bill.

She has sung the Canadian National Anthem for local hockey games and Canada Day festivals. At age 17, her first album received radio airplay. She was featured on CTV News for that first album and her second band’s album, Fragmented Mind.

The band Fragmented Mind was a gothic rock band. It had plans to record a new album with members of Evanescence. This did not happen because of breast cancer, yet now healthy, Lisa reinvented herself musically.

Future projects are expected to be single releases throughout 2022. There is a lot of inspiration behind all these songs that will be released individually as singles.
