Kilcloon, County Meath, Ireland (1981 – present)

Lisa Hannigan, born February 12th 1981 in Kilcloon, County Meath, Ireland, is an who is originally known as the female vocalist from Damien Rice’s best selling breakthrough albums O and 9. Lisa also appears on backing vocals on Mic Christopher’s album Skylarkin, as well as the soundtrack to “Goldfish Memory”.

In 2005 Lisa and Damien co-wrote Unplayed Piano which was released to support the Free Aung San Suu Kyi 60th Birthday Campaign.

A stunning vocalist, Lisa regularly performed live with Damien from early 2001 until March 2007 when Rice’s offical website announced that his professional relationship with Lisa had “run its creative course”.

Lisa was also a member of The Cake Sale, a collective of mostly Irish, but featuring some international artists, formed by Brian Crosby of Bell X1. On 3rd November 2006 they released a self-titled album in Ireland to raise money for Oxfam and the Irish Make Trade Fair campaign. The album was so successful that it was given an international release the following year; released 10th September 2007 in the UK and 16th October 2007 in the US.

Lisa has since gone on to pursue her own solo career, releasing her first album Sea Sew in Ireland on September 12th 2008, debuting at number 4 and earning her a Choice Music Prize nomination, two Meteor Music Award nominations and has been shortlisted for the Mercury Prize 2009. The album’s first single was Lille followed by I Don’t Know.
