I have been in the music industry now for as long as I can remember, both in administrative and creative capacities. Starting out with classical violin as a child, my teen years saw me shift from solo guitarist/vocalist through to being the bass player in an all-girl band. Over the years, I managed to teach myself a variety of instruments and can honestly say I have played more venues than I have had hot breakfasts.
Growing up in the Sydney music scene was truly an extraordinary experience. Live bands were rife and each weekend was spent either playing music, or hanging out at one of the hundreds of pubs, that oozed live music on a nightly basis. During that time, I made the shift from being in the spotlight, to being one of the spotlight makers. As a personal manager in the pop and country fields, I went on to produce albums and direct music video clips, whilst writing my own material. In 2000 I wrote and produced my first album "Angel Heart" as an independent production where one of the tracks "Maybe Baby" was picked up by French country radio and another "Angel Heart" received recognizable airplay in Belgium and Romania. brbrWriting lyrics and music comes naturally to me, it's like breathing air and I have been blessed to be able to create commercial works in a multiple of genres for multiple instruments. brbr“ANGEL HEART” is a 10 track album containing a mixture of mainstream adult contemporary, urban, new country and ballads. From the gospel sounding “Restitution” through to the cheeky country boot-scootin’ “Maybe Baby” and into the haunting romance of “Who Warms Up The Sun” the constant inadmissible creamy vocals of Lisa J Aston are fluent throughout.brbr"Lisa is an exceptional talent. She has the unique ability to create commercial masterpieces in a variety of genres - an aptitude rarely seen in this business". Kathy Howard - Republic Ventures P/L
