Despite graduating with an acting degree from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), singer-songwriter, Lisa Wright, is quickly becoming known as a rising star within the UK’s country scene. Last year was a game-changer for Lisa. In January, she toured the country, playing to new audiences from city to city, opening for a number of artists including SaraBeth, Jess & the Bandits and Honey Ryder. The combination of her unique song writing style and on-stage charisma started to cause a buzz within the UK scene, soon catching the attention of some of Nashville’s top producers. So, in the summer, Lisa flew to Nashville to record her debut EP, Before I Die, also giving her debut performance at the prestigious Bluebird Café. Upon release, Before I Die entered into the iTunes country charts at No.4 - making Lisa the only independent UK artist in the Top 20. Since then the tracks have been featured on country radio both in the US and UK, including BBC Introducing, BBC Essex and Amazing Radio. Described as a cross between Alison Krauss, Kacey Musgraves and bringing an ‘element of modernity to country/folk’, it is no wonder why the Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI) recognised Lisa as their ‘One to Watch’.
