“Lisa Theunissen is a hell of a performer with a phenomenal technique and stage presence”
Eric-Jan Harmsen, Teatro Pereyra, Ibiza, Spain
Lisa’s career started in musical theatre, making the stage her home from a very young age. Originally from South Africa but also working in Europe and Asia for the last 14 years not only as a performer, but also as an exceptional singer-songwriter, voice-over artist, actor and session vocalist for studio.
In 2008, Lisa independently launched her debut album, HerStory, through various digital outlets;
iTunes and
Amazon through
CDBaby.com/theunissen.
During the album launch Lisa performed at over 100 UK venues and was dressed by designer Vivienne Westwood for her shows. These included GuilFest 2008 and showcases at The Pigalle Club, The Bedford and headlining the Halfmoon Putney. HerStory received many press reviews and nominations, so very exciting for Lisa’s first piece of showmanship in songwriting. Highlights of the launch were a feature on Amazon in June as 'New and Emerging Artists for 2008', nominations as 'Best Pop Rock Act' in the Exposure Music Awards 2008 (sponsored by TourDates.co.uk) and ‘Best Female Solo Act’ for the Guildford Brits Awards 2008.
Since 2009 Lisa has been performing as a live music artist in: Teatro Pereyra, Ibiza for Eric-Jan Harmsen (working with featured artist Barbara Tucker); GHotel in Penang, Malyasia for Titus Raj from Music for Asia and London; Johannesburg, South Africa for the Football World Cup 2010; The Brix in Singapore, Safari Club in Oman, Xiu Bar in Beijing for Liquid Band managed by Georges Elchakieh of el-live Productions. Repertoire includes top-40 hits of pop, soul, and rock.
Whilst performing at Xiu Bar, Beijing, Liquid Band won the ‘Best House Band’ in Beijing for 2011 by The Reader Bar and Club Awards, The Beijinger Magazine.
Here are various promo videos to showcase some of Lisa’s songwriting and performances whilst abroad:

Whilst exploring music abroad as a live music artist, until January 2012, Lisa is writing her second album with the aim to be published as a songwriter.
Her rock ‘n roll mottos are; ‘it’s all about the song’, ‘love, energy, attitude, delivery’ and ‘give it your all or go home’!
