Details:
Lisa Lauren Smith, a native to Detroit, Michigan, was quickly involved in music and the arts industry at a very young age. Training in classical piano at the age of 4, later opened doors for her to excel at learning other instruments such as the violin and the french horn. At age 12, Lisa became one out of three members of rap/r&b group "Trak 3". Having recorded and managed to receive a record deal was a very close call, but never came to pass. Lisa did not stop there in her pursuit to be a successful recording artist. As a teenager, she was asked to be the lead singer for the Jazz/R&B/Rock Band "Galaxy". Traveling most of inner city Detroit, the band developed a reputation for being funky and eclectic with a hip-hop vibe.
While singing and attending broadcasting school, Lisa's connections lead her to becoming a part-time radio personality and morning show producer for one of the top Hip-Hop and R & B radio stations in the city. Lisa Lauren Smith, became radio DJ "Mona Lisa" for Radio Oneâs 102.7 in Detroit Michigan. After 4 months as a part-time personality, Lisa's singing voice was also requested for on-air jingles and station promos. Exercising her voice on the air waves soon lead to voice-over opportunities and being signed with two major talent agencies in Michigan.
Lisa eventually left radio to continue her singing and very unexpectedly began an acting career after booking principal roles in commercials, PSA's and stage plays. In pursuit to work a much larger market, Lisa moved to Los Angeles, California. After auditioning for a slew of talent shows, including âAmerican Idolâ, âStar Searchâ and the Christian talent show âGiftedâ and not making the cut, Lisa decided to try a different road to her success. Connecting with other artists of different song genres allowed Lisa to sing hooks for hip-hop artists, while co-writing and producing for other independent singers as well. It wouldnât be long before deciding that it was her time to write and produce for herself.
After 3 years of singing and performing solo and with local bands in the LA area, Lisa began work on her own original music. For studio convenience, she moved back to Michigan where she has now completed her original debut album âRock Steadyâ. With contributing artist such as guitarist and pop/rock producer, Jesse Johnson and the young popular R&B band âHotsauceâ, this pop/rock CD has already gotten positive reviews and request for more. Lisa, can be seen performing her original music âliveâ at various local venues: see website for show listings
