Rock Island IL, United States (2007 – present)

Elisabeth Maurus (born 1982), known by her stage name Lissie, is an American folk rock artist and Paste Magazine’s #1 best new solo artist of 2010. She released her debut EP, “Why You Runnin’”, in November 2009. Her debut album, Catching a Tiger, was released in June 2010.

Lissie was born and raised in Rock Island, Illinois. Her father is a physician and her mother is an interior designer. She was interested in singing and music from an early age. She played the title role of the musical Annie at the age of nine. “In high school it seems like everyone has more drama than any other time in their life. So that was the time in my life where I really leaned on music as a way to stay sane,” she said in an interview.

In her senior year of high school, she was expelled over, what she described, as “something stupid that did, but it was sort of like the culmination of just a lot of negative things that had happened”. She got her degree at an alternative outreach center. She spent two years at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, during which time she would open for musicians who visited the city. She collaborated with DJ Harry of SCI Fidelity Records on the song “All My Life”, which was featured on television shows House, The O.C., Veronica Mars and Wildfire. After spending a semester in Paris, she finished her studies to pursue a career in music. In 2007, she produced a four-song EP that received some airplay on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.
