Beyond the recording studio, Lisa’s talents extend to the stage. She starred as ‘GIRL’ in the Tony Award–winning musical Once and co-created Elizabeth with Bullet Heart Club (makers of Daffodils), a gig-theatre production blending her original songs with storytelling.

In 2024, Lisa’s singles “Boy Don’t Cry” and “Hey You” made an impact both in the U.S. and back home, with airplay on the influential Los Angeles station KCRW and strong support throughout Australasia. “Hey You” also charted regionally, solidifying Lisa’s growing presence in the indie-pop landscape.

Following the success of her EP Looking for Love (In A Major), Lisa has released her newest project, New Girl Syndrome — out now. Showcasing her signature mix of introspective lyricism and irresistible indie-pop melodies, the EP marks her most captivating and confident work to date.
