Byron Bay based Soul singer Lisa Hunt has performed with Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, James Brown, Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Macy Gray, Tina Turner, Bryan May, and the cranberries Dolores O'Riordan.
Hunt achieved fame and relative success in Italy, where she has been credited as "one of the most incredible voices of the past years.”
In Italy, she is said to have performed one of the most intense interpretations of John Lennons "Imagine".
Lisa began singing in that great African American tradition, the gospel church, which laid the foundation of her soulful singing style.
She went on to study voice at The City College of New York where she received a BFA in music. Her debut album was ' A Little Piece Of Magic' for Universal/Polydor. She has had songs on numerous compilations around the globe, both as singer and songwriter and has sold more than a million records.
As the rivers rise in Qld and NSW with worst floods in 500 years in that region Lisa’s hometown of Byron Bay has been swamped literally as mother earns deluge soaks the Northern Rivers region.
All her equipment and possessions are in a shed bordering the great river which has swollen while she waits it out on the Gold Coast. Her concert in Twead Heads is likely cancelled band members stuck in Mullumbimby and all this after two years of Covid .. we get real about humility in the face of nature, meditation and the power of music.
