Lissie

After Elisabeth finished her studies she began to pursue her goals of a career in music in 2007. She produced a four track self titled EP which gained her a small amount of press attention and moderate amounts of radio play. In early 2008, Lenny Kravitz invited her to be the opening act for his Love Revolution Tour which gained her much needed exposure, the next EP she released was the 2009 'Why You Runnin'', it was produced by Bill Reynolds of Band of Horses. With the new attention and buzz on the blogosphere, the EP charted within the top ten of the US Billboard Folk chart and features 'Oh, Mississippi' which went on to make the final cut of her debut.

Lissie signed with Sony Music UK's Columbia Records for the release of 'Catching A Guitar'. It went on to gain the songwriter a number of accolades, the single 'When I'm Alone' was chosen by iTunes as their song of 2010, whilst 'Cuckoo' was A listed by BBC Radio 2. The album charted at #5 on the US Folk chart and #12 on the UK album charts and went onto be certified as gold selling. The album won over critics in the UK with publications including Time Out, AllMusic and the Independent all giving the LP rave reviews for the blues/folk melange sound.

Lissie's name rose to prominence when her cover of 'Go Your Own Way' by Fleetwood Mac was chosen to soundtrack a Twinings' ad campaign. It was also chosen as a theme for the BBC Radio 4 reading of Iain Banks's Stonemouth, read by David Tennant. Her next album came in 2013 and was entitled 'Back To Forever', it features singles 'Further Away' and 'Sleepwalking'. This album once again won large amounts of praise from critics but due to a lack of promotion it didn't perform as well commercially, it did however break the top 200 on the US Billboard album charts.
