LISA COPPOLA is a dedicated, ambitious and gifted artist who is well on the way to becoming an internationally successful singer/songwriter. Notably, LISA co-wrote a song entitled "You Were Mine" with Mike Walsh on his band Departure's self titled album which sold over 40,000 copies in the UK and Japan combined.

LISA completed an independently released extended play CD. This was LISA's first solo project entitled "A Rose By Any Other Name" , on Any Other Name Records produced by Russ Bonagura. The record showcases her 4 & 1/2 octave vocal range with rocking pop songs and gorgeous ballads. LISA co-wrote 6 of the 9 tracks on the record.

LISA is also a recent recipient of a $2,500.00 grant from B.E.A.M. (Benefiting Emerging Artists in Music program), a program for emerging artists from all musical genres sponsored by Jim Beam Bourbon.

LISA is a longtime of the performing show band the "Party Dolls" doing material from Motown to Madonna with full choreography, wigs and costumes.

LISA was thrilled to be invited, as a solo guest singer, to open for the Smothers Brothers (at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ) before a capacity crowd. A life long "Jersey Girl," LISA continues to perform at major events throughout the New York metropolitan area and the Garden State; opening the show with the young finalists of "New Hope Idol", Hambletonian Day at Meadowlands Racetrack and the recurrent New Jersey's Official Memorial Day and Veteran's Day Ceremony with featured speaker Governor John Corzine at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery, among them.

Most recently, she was very well received during a performance at "Don't Tell Mama," the venerable New York City cabaret. This then led to the creation of her own Cabaret show entitled "Songs I Grew Up With" that she recently debuted at the fabulous "Odette's" in New Hope, PA to thunderous applause.

LISA set out on her own as a solo artist, but LISA's band BROAD and their album BROAD: HUMAN CONFLICT enjoyed a string of successes. They landed record distribution deals in the territories of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland through Hamburg, Germany's ArtBeat Records label through BMG/ARIS. The album was also distributed in Portugal through Fabrica/Movieplay Records.

LISA and her band BROAD did a wonderfully successful media/concert tour of Germany in support the record and were received with open arms by extremely enthusiastic German audiences. BROAD laid the groundwork for these successes by becoming one of New York's hottest live acts, playing regularly at such Manhattan staples as Brownies, A/k/a, Spiral, The Bitter End and also appearing at the World Cup Tournament at Giant's Stadium.

LISA COPPOLA has sung with major label artists Billy Joel (with whom she appeared on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and in his "All About Soul" video), Marshall Crenshaw, John Eddie, Glen Burtnik, and Mitch Malloy. In addition to this background singing, she has also done numerous jingles. Don't let this professional precision fool you, though it is backed with true passion, soul and love of music and creating with a style that blurs the lines between love-gone-bad country and heartfelt, confrontational rock.

LISA , who has been performing since the tender age of 16, is truly a talent to be reckoned with. With her intensity, powerful stage presence and songwriting talent it is only a matter of time as to when she will take the music world by storm.
