"Truly Divine," is a song sung with the deep passion and emotion by a woman who has more than a great voice, she has a caring heart and shared experiences that reach out to audiences of all types. Lisa Sanders is a songwriter, a singer, a woman with a life history filled with joys, sorrows, and the ability to share those experiences through her heart within a song. Lisa Sanders, Winner of San Diego Music Awards 1998, born in Philadelphia, Lisa began singing as a youngster and wrote her first song at the tender age of nine. She sang everywhere she could, in school, with friends, and for her family. With a diverse interest in music, she admits to listening and enjoying a wide variety of performers. The names of those performers and songwriters include a diversity that many could only imagine. The Motown collection kept by her mother was just the start. Her interest expanded to include Neil Young, Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Joni Mitchell, Joan Armatrading, Fleetwood Mac...and Lisa even admits, in a weak moment, that their family sang John Denver songs! At the age of nineteen, Lisa saw Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, it was then that she decided to become a songwriter. However, life took a turn onto the path of having a baby, and then another. She did write songs and eventually moved to Los Angeles where she was able to turn some of her work into marginal success. Jingles and opportunities passed her way, some branching out while others fizzled. With the disappointment rising from the obstacles she encountered, Lisa returned to San Diego and was forced, due to circumstances, to have her girls live with her parents; Lisa found herself living in her car. Things eventually got better and her family was reunited when she was able to move into her own place. However, the music world was too hard and she didn't want to try any more. Life went on with a job that provided an income, but without any life fulfilling joy or sense of real purpose. It was here in San Diego where her spark for singing and songwriting was reignited by her pals on the music scene. She began to write and perform again. Suddenly, she was being pursued by recording people. They relentlessly followed her from show to show. Finally, encouraged by her other musician friends, Lisa agreed to record an album. "Isn't Life Fine" is that album.
Lisa Sanders has been forecasted to hit the music world with the impact of
Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman. Locally, we have known that for a long
time. Listen to this soul impacting work and then come out to see Lisa
with her audiences. We are sure you will find the experience "Truly
Divine."
