bio
Indie-pop chanteuse Lisa Crawley has been immersed in music since the age of four. Numerous albums, EPs and singles later, her refreshingly honest onstage presence and emotionally authentic pop songs enchant the hearts and minds of an ever-growing global audience.
New Zealand-born Crawley moved to Los Angeles in early 2020, after career forays in London and Melbourne. Emerging from her first year in LA, during which she eschewed pandemic realities to thrive and survive, Lisa Crawley will release her single “The Right Way” from the forthcoming EP Looking For Love (In A Major).
“The Right Way” was co-written and produced with Grammy-nominated Rob Kleiner. Lisa and Rob bonded over Jon Brion, The Dresden and The Office (UK). These are just some of the iconic cultural influences that forged the creative process behind “The Right Way”. It will be accompanied by a highly reflective video directed by Heather Ballish that embraces awkwardness, hindsight and introspection.
Lisa is a four-time APRA Silver Scroll Award nominee, and was twice selected for the prestigious Banff Centre songwriter residency (Canada), where many of her notable songs were written.
A natural collaborator, Lisa has worked with luminary antipodean songwriters Tim Finn, Greg Johnson and Hugo Race, and created her show “Elizabeth” with Bullet Heart Club (Daffodils). Lisa has performed her own song arrangements with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra and opened for Suzanne Vega, John Mayer, Jools Holland, Paul Weller and Simply Red. More recently, Lisa donned her acting hat to star as ‘GIRL’ in the Tony Award-winning musical ‘Once’.
Over the past year, Lisa harnessed her insatiable creative drive to write “Show You What Love Is”, “Tragedy Boy”, “Clear History” and “See Me Soon”’ all produced with Grammy-nominated Rob Kleiner. Lisa’s songs also graced the airwaves of US TV shows “Nancy Drew”, “Good Trouble”, “Stumptown”, and “Proven Innocent”.
Her upcoming EP ‘Looking For Love (In A Major)’ will be released on July 23, 2021.

WHAT DOES PATREON MEAN TO YOU
I love how the sense of community that brings - allowing fans to become friends and for the artist to share rare gems and an insight into the real highs and lows of their career.
“Lisa Crawley’s mastered her own musical destiny from day dot.”
“Exactly in-line with the rise of emotional pop à la Billie Eilish – although in a more guitar-soaked fashion compared to Eilish’s pop-rooted sound – so it’ll be super interesting to see where Crawley goes from here in what’s bound to be a very, very bright future. ”
“Lisa Crawley’s voice is all her own, her sultry lower register and occasional switches to shrillness selling the drama of her narrative lyrics.”
“A breath of fresh air, it’s no wonder Crawley has become one of the country’s most respected ladies in the game.”
