A San Francisco Bay Area native, based part-time in Miami, Lisa has been performing in the US, Japan, the Philippines, Mexico and Brazil for the past 19 years part of which were spent living in Rio and Sao Paulo. Expressing warmth and versatility, Lisa's vocal style and musical arrangements combine key element of contemporary jazz, bossa nova and pop music.

While studying music at San Francisco State Universtiy and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Lisa was fortunate to have begun performing early on with some of the most talented and creative jazz trios and quartets in the Bay Area, appearing regularly at local night clubs, restaurants and hotels while gradually building an extensive repertoire in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Merrill Hoover, world-class arranger and premiere accompanist for singers such as Anita O'Day, Ernestine Anderson, and Chris Connor to name a few, became Lisa's first vocal coach, mentor and accompanist enabling her to build a solid jazz repertoire while instilling the essential qualities that makes a great jazz performer.
She later went on to broaden her experience attributing a tasteful repertoire and natural approach to Bossa Nova by performing with legendary and world known Brazilian pianist Marco Silva.
