The Complete Edition #WhoAreYouAgain
That’s what it comes down to. Sharing. This overwhelming need to share.
To give everything I have learnt and now know, to someone. Someone who is willing to take the risk to be everything music creates. Someone who is still as curious as me about the fascination of music regardless of the setbacks. Someone unafraid of the Big Bad Wolf!
Who Are You, Again? Series I & II with Album
Contrary to the existing assumptions of rock and roll lifestyles, I delve into my experiences of how I have the same routine preparing for a show and how I built my fanbase from walking around with a clipboard to sign up fans, after each show. Some of you that met me performing at The Bedford in London will remember this.
Album Launch #WhoAreYouAgain
It is with great pleasure I announce the surprise part of this project…a new album under my independent label as Lisa Theunissen :>

So we’ve just wrapped up mixing Drown The Pain, now working on Gotta Let Go and Gonna Make This Right. Back in 2002 I wrote “Gonna Make This Right” whilst studying music at Brunel University. For the end of year performance exam, the lecturer and good friend, Frank Griffith, specifically said no original music can be performed. So we performed my song and got the highest mark! At the end of the performance Frank asked who the composer is, and I replied jokingly oh just some famous South African artist…

My childhood was filled to the brim with life on stage until a couple of years after moving to London I just lost my way. No auditions came through, the rejection letters from record labels kept coming and working as a singing-waitress was not a long-term career. So I guess I just put my music on a shelf. I half-heartedly dipped my head in the music world for about 6 years until a life-changing incident happened…

Jan 19, 2011 Hi Everyone Happy New Year, best wishes for 2011 :> Last month, I discussed the hours of stage image preparation, now let’s pump up the volume… Song delivery is vital to a performance. It may take many hours of preparation to look and feel good but if...Part I, Curtain Call
Dec 22, 2010 01:10am, 4th Set, Liquid Band performing Thursday Night at Safari Club, Grand Hyatt Muscat in Oman As I perform Waka Waka to the crowd pulling off some of Shakira‘s moves, beads of sweat run down my brow and I feel my mascara running but all I am thinking...I Can’t Get No…Satisfaction!
Each day I like my mindset to be positive, no cloudy thoughts…this is the only way I can deliver a show and another reason I sleep a lot. I find that normal life can be such a distraction to achieving my daily stage goals and for what I am doing right now, it works. Raise your eyebrows and shake your heads all you like, that this may not be a realistic life I’m living, but my life has been a hard road traveled until now, so the hitchhike to the port to jump onboard and head out for sea is plain sailing…and everyday I feel the wind in my sails, just that little bit closer to my desert island of showmanship…NeverNeverland is ready and waiting for me, heehee!

Landed a job singing in a band through an agency, http://www.el-live.com, that books musicians to perform all through Asia for a year or so. It’s early days for me…(still on probation, so trying to behave…HAHAHA!). At the moment I’m in Singapore playing in a band called MaXimum – http://www.facebook.com/maximumband – at Brix, Grand Hyatt Hotel. This is an incredible group of musicians that rock it out 6 nights a week regardless of anything…to me it feels like Friday everyday on stage!

My Mom also was offered a record contract at a young age but my Granddad turned down the label as she was only fifteen – I hope to make it up to her with my success one day (SOON)!…My brother especially has always pushed me to be better, stronger and go for Gold. He’s seen me perform since I was little and come to many of my shows in London, so it was good to for him to see me years later too…
A few words from Eric-Jan Harmsen of Teatro Pereyra
Seldom have we had a singer that didn’t lose his/her voice doing what you did every night with the humidity and temperature changes we have in our little island but above all…seldom have we had a singer that was a team worker like you…of course, you love your job (as I said a couple of times: if you don’t sing you die ha ha…) and sometimes you overdo it a bit but never nasty, egocentric and with the so common misplaced star behaviour that a lot of singers make us having to cope with.
Let there be no doubt: you will, must, shall come back to the Pereyra and repeat the Ibiza-experience…

The main people that pulled me through this time were the band. I’ve spent more time with them in the last six months than anyone else and they stood by me through all the typical-female driving, really bad jokes and worried-moments. Considering we were just strangers a few months ago and I am not paying them enough for their true worth, as they are really talented musicians, speaks volumes.
