About Me


Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, this Torontonian plays from the heart. From playing a multitude of open mics at various well-known venues, to being a part of organized showcases, Lisa made way for herself on the local circuit. Her ability to draw and sonically captivate a crowd comes from her years of give and take within the Toronto music scene.
Lisa puts her music out there with an expressive face that follows the ripples in sound, and the motion of the melody. She captures the stage with her humorous presence, a sincere and refreshing lack of ego that comes from experience, playing what she loves to play and being all the Lisa she can be.

“The Casual EP” - 2007
“This swift six song debut rushes out of the gates full of heartfelt conviction--her barbed lyrics of friendship, love and ambition shining through with world-weary honesty and summoned strength. Hers is a blend of folk rock that is both powerful and infectious.”
