About Me

My name is Lisa. I was born 1981 and grew up in a small town on the Swedish westcoast. When I was seven years old I started going to church. Not because of my faith in God but everybody seemed so nice and warm in this gigantic room. And the old ladies had a strong smell of perfume and made delicious cookies to eat after the service. After a while I quit going to church and the older I got the more doubts I had about who God really was. But I realized the meaning of finding things in life that make you feel good. And there it was, music. Like God himself, Burt Reynolds, Super Mario Bros, Patrick Swayze, Janne "Loffe" Karlsson, Olof Palme or who you prefer to call God. Ever since, I've been singing and writing songs, playing the drums and annoyed and amused neighbours and family members. Some days I teach children how to spell, some days I write songs and other days I sit behind the drums in the beautiful band "Maud Lindström & NÃ¥t För Alla".To get my EP "Wide Eye" just send a message ([email protected]) and I'll send it to you as fast as I can. 60 SEK, including shipping.

Crazy summer

I'm still at my mum's house in Varberg. This is a strange summer indeed. I'm a weather person and when it's raining it sometimes feels like the drops from the sky slip under my skin and give me a hard...

Hultsfredsfestivalen
