Lisa Itts

Lisa Itts, (singer/songwriter/guitarist) a musician from early on, started playing guitar at the age of nine. She was first discovered by Peter Yarrow of "Peter, Paul and Mary". She attended Nassau Community College and minored in music. There, she added piano to her repertoire of instruments. After graduating, Lisa started teaching guitar and piano. She has since added vocal and songwriting to her teaching list and conducts songwriting seminars as well. She has worked in several projects, including an R&B vocal quartet, co-produced by "Quick" from Epic Records. She has also done work for Dennis King, producer for such world renowned bands as "Motley Crue" and "Chic". Lisa has toured extensively in the New York Tri-state area at such venues as the ever-popular C.B.G.B.'s and The Bitter End, N.Y.C. She has performed and recorded with guitarist extraordinaire, Larry Mitchell of "Tracy Chapman" and "Rick Okasek's bands, and bassmaster, Schuyler Deale of "Michael Bolton" and "Billy Joel". She and her band, *Solstar* have also opened for such musical staples as the "The Band¡¨.

Lisa is a prolific writer with over 100 songs in her repertoire. It is not uncommon for her to create several pieces of music or poetry in a relatively short period of time. Her music offers memorable melodies and moving lyrics vague enough to self-interpret, yet empowering enough to relate to and inspire.

In my own words: "If I may share my songs with as many people as possible and touch them in some way; I feel this would fulfill what I am truly here to do."
