Bio
Musician, actor, activist Lysa Flores was born and raised in East Los Angeles, a first generation Mexican-American, and has been a pioneer in the Chicana alternative scene since her teens. She was named by Newsweek as one of 20 young Latinos to watch in the new millennium and was featured in John F. Kennedy's "George" magazine.
She has been a member of legendary performance-artist El Vez's band since 1996, traveling across the globe to crowds of up to 100,000 people. As a solo artist, she has opened for the likes of Los Lobos, Rage Against the Machine, John Doe of L.A.'s legendary punk-band "X", Green Day, Victoria Williams, Ozomatli and Mexico's leading rock group, the Jaguares.
In 1997, she landed a starring role in the critically acclaimed indie-film Star Maps --a favorite at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival-- and, for this, earned a Best Debut Performance nomination from the Independent Spirit Awards. She also served as the film's musical director (which was the first feature film to utilize a track by folk cult-hero Nick Drake), as well as producing the soundtrack for Geffen Records.
Lysa Flores played the lead role as �Sage Flores� for the sold-out Hollywood theater production of "The Furthest Room", a play based on her songs. She wrote and performed the title tracks along with her band who served as high-energy live score!
Additionally, she's appeared in the film "Menace" (1999), was musical director for the film "Blink of an Eye" that same year , had a recurring guest-starring role on the popular Telemundo novela "Reyes Y Rey", and has appeared in the documentaries �El Rey De Roc n Roll� and �Americanos� as a featured singer/dancer with El Vez.
