Lisa Easton

As the youngest of six kids, and the daughter of a preacher, Lisa Easton found her love for music very early on. Having
come from a musical family (where everyone sings and plays an instrument) it was inevitable that she would follow in
the footsteps of her older siblings. As Lisa grew up, she realized God had given her something very special... a voice to
sing. At the age of 4, Lisa began quietly exploring her voice, by listening to her older sisters' practice, while forming
harmony parts in her head. By the age of 8, she knew there was something special about her ability to hear parts and
sing on perfect pitch.
In her late teens, Lisa began doing voice-overs, jingles and radio commercials. She was recognized as a major voice-over
and singing talent. Lisa supported the promotion and advertisement of many reputable companies and events. As a
result of having a fresh voice that stood out, Lisa was highly recommended in the industry.
As Lisa continued pursuing a musical career; she had the incredible experience of meeting one of music's greatest
singers, producers, and song writers, Wyclef-Jean. He described her voice as one of the greatest in the industry today
and told Lisa that: "she had the voice of an angel".
Lisa has been featured on various albums and is proud to have released her solo, debut album "Last Cry" in September
of 2011. This album was written and inspired by Lisa's journey through life. She invites us into her experiences through
the diverse melodies and lyrical intention. Not only does this album offer hope to women and girls (that experience
various struggles), it covers musical styles that appeal to everyone.
As God often does, he used some difficult times in Lisa's life to grab her attention. She began seeking out the heart of
God and wo rking through wounds of the past. Through much prayer to find healing and forgiveness for the things she
experienced, Lisa felt called to ministry. She has specifically felt a greater call to lead people into the presence of God
