A blend of acoustic pop with jazz and soul influences. Lisa is a talented and versatile songwriter, singer, pianist and arranger. The music is engaging, sentimental, full of expression and easy listening.Band/artist history
Lisa grew up in Melbourne Australia and, influenced by her musical family, began to sing and play piano from a very early age. After completing her Diploma in Music Performance at the Australian College of Entertainers at the age of 22, she has travelled the world with her music performing in musicals, on cruise ships and in numerous 5 star hotels. Lisa has won a large Fan Club throughout the world, particularly in Germany and Belgium where she toured and performed regularly for many years before moving to Dubai.
Now based in Dubai, has released her new album Its Time. A blend of acoustic pop with jazz and soul influences this album highlights Lisas talent and versatility as a songwriter, singer, pianist and arranger. The music is engaging, sentimental, full of expression and easy listening. Relax, chill out, enjoy and soak it in. Although the majority of the CD presents Lisa singing songs she composed herself, she has included her own interpretations of three cover songs. Stevie Wonder (Blame it on the Sun), a version of Joe Crockers The Letter and a beautiful interpretation of the song Time is a Healer. People who love female jazz and blues vocalists will love Lisa Hugos music. Lisa adds that her new compositions are largely inspired by her family and motherhood. One of her favourites, Butterfly, is a slick bossa nova song that profits hugely from the singers signature three-octave vocals.Have you performed in front of an audience?My last performance was the Dubai International Jazz Festival 2009. My next gigs will be in Belgium in July.
