Just l'il ole me...and whatever musicians I may need at the time. Most of my recordings are done with the ever-amazing Adrian Stuckey of Big Note Productions (Australia and New Zealand). The man is a truly extraordinary talent and producer.
Influences
My diverse influences are demonstrated in my songwriting. Here are some of my more 'influential' artists...and not in any particular order: Shaun Colvin, David Bowie, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, James Blunt, Tom Jones, Barbra Streisand, Alabama, Clint Black, Dixie Chicks, Crowded House, Dave Dobbin, Renee Geyer...to name a few.
Sounds Like
I have been described as sounding like a mixture of Karen Carpenter, K.D. Lang, Olivia Newton-John and Bonnie Raitt.

I am a songwriter, author, scriptwriter and creative writer. Music is and always will be my first love. Voice is a natural gift and being blessed with an 'ear', has allowed me to self-teach multiple instruments. Since I was five years old, I knew I wanted to sing and write.
At one stage of my life, I became a personal manager in the pop and country fields and went on to produce albums and direct music video clips, but hanging out with performers and writers and not being able to do it too, simply did my head in. No surprises ... Out came my first CD titled 'ANGEL HEART.
The title track "Angel Heart" was picked up by Kathy Howard of Republic Productions, a Sydney based music publisher headed by the cream of Australia's music industry. That song alone, led to the signing of a full blown publishing agreement. Tracks off the album proved very successful in Romania, France and Belgium.
At some point, I sidetracked into the world of filmmaking, whereby during the course of conversation, a strange turn of events brought me back to music...(another shock!). I also authored and published a music industry hand-book titled "PopStars & Idols the recipe for success".
The opening song off the ANGEL HEART CD, "Restitution", was 'discovered' right here on MySpace and secured as the opening title track for U.S. soap opera LEGACY HILL, viewable 24/7 on www.urscene.com on channel 1.
Thank you for taking the time to read my 'story' and I trust you enjoy my music.
Blessings to you,
Lisa J Aston

Wink in, flutter about, wink out. Touch all you can, but try not to break anything. Enjoy the art of learning. Read. Read. Read. If Mom told you life was fair, she lied. If Dad said you can't play fair, he lied. It's not God's fault. Do the math... there are just too many self centered people. If you spend more than half your life truly happy, you've won. Acceptance is the key. Give of yourself unconditionally. Love unconditionally. You may get hurt, oh well. You may get used, oh well. You will make mistakes, oh well. Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's doing the right thing in spite of it. Dream your dream. Live your dream. If you stumble, oh well. Dream your dream. Live your dream. There is a God. He or she doesn't follow any particular religion. Pray however you like, just pray. Sing every day, dance every day, laugh every day. Try not to grow up too much. To quote a very wise man, "All you need is love." Wanna know a secret?
