Music is in Lisa’s DNA. Her father was the producer of legendary Motown artists such as Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Smokey Robinson, and others. She now proudly carries the torch as the producer on her new album Start Flying along with Adam Box as producer, acclaimed drummer for GRAMMY-nominated, Country Music Award Winners Brothers Osborne. An all-star cast of musicians support Lisa on the record including Dave Eggar, Cello (Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Adele, Beyoncé); Rich Mercurio, Drums (Sara Bareilles, Idina Menzel, Steven Van Zandt); Jerry Marotta, Drums, Bass (Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates, Orleans); Nelson Bragg, Vocals (Brian Wilson); Rick Huckaby, Guitars, Vocals (Trace Adkins, Thomas Rhett) and more. Start Flying was recorded at the Gilded Palace in Nashville, TN and Dreamland Studios in Woodstock, NY; mixed by Ken Helmlinger and mastered by GRAMMY-nominated engineer Joe Lambert. It is self-released on Gentileland Records.

“Start Flying” is comprised of 12 self-written mini anthems that take us on a journey of life. Masterfully produced, Lisa demonstrates her unique ability to fuse pop, country, rock and soul, creating her own signature sound. Up-tempo songs “Sweet on You”, “Drive” and “On the Water” celebrate the simple things in life while her vulnerable side comes out in “Lifeline”, a haunting song about loss and “Piece of Me”, a moving piano, vocal ballad affirming her unbreakable strength and “Stuck with Me”, a poignant duet featuring artist Rick Huckaby about a passionate love that drives you mad. “Guys Like You” is a rock, soul power anthem with a strong message as a female artist trying to succeed in a male-dominated industry. “I Drank the Cooking Wine” – a classic country drinking song with a twist of insane and in songs “Rise”, “Shine” and the title track “Start Flying” you will find hope, encouragement, and inspiration. Closing out the album is “Just When I Thought the Rain Would End”, a truly authentic 80’s power ballad written and recorded by Lisa at just 16 years old with a vocal maturity well beyond her years. Produced by her father Mickey, Lisa adds new guitars, bass, drums to this remixed and remastered version while keeping her original vocal intact. All in all, Start Flying is a timeless record with something everyone can relate to.

On the album, Lisa says, “This record is more than just my songs and stories. It’s a representation of my growth as an artist and producer. It’s me turning each no into a yes; proving to myself and the world that I can fly in the face of adversity. When someone truly believes in you, it should never be based on age, appearance, sexuality, gender, race, relationship status or how long you’ve paid your dues in a town. But instead on the quality of your art and work ethic. Do not tell me what I cannot do. Timing is everything and this is my time to fly. . . my way.”
