You wrote your first song in 1995 and since then you have been providing your message of love.
How would you describe your process from 1995 until now?

I write everyday, and live in absolute service to the delivery of the message.
What is your current mission? My current mission is to sing as beautiful as I can, while promoting the best in people, love, harmony, peace and beauty through music, lyric and stage performance.

Lisa Bianco - Momentum
Interview by Chris Koppers/images courtesy of Lisa Bianco

Just coming back from a tour on Italian soil, the exceptional Lisa had some moments for an interview on crankbox-music:

How was your recent tour in Italy?

I was great! Fantastico! European fans are extra special. They appreciate new music so much. I assume it its because not a lot of independent and new music from the states comes through Europe as much. So when you come around they treat you so well. I love Italy. Some of my family is here and I try to come every year. I meet many fans and make friends in my travels. A lot of good times over wine and food.

Your "Momentum" release offers brilliant songs. Let us take "Erase you", for instance - How was the first stage for composing this song? Where did you get the inspiration from?

Karyn Ellis

I noted Karyn's musical skills with her video "Bitter Grasses " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpnlCjp1_GU

 

and many folks of my readership know Karyn and my humble person got something in common: using a Rolleiflex camera. 

Karyn tells us somewaht about "Hey little bird" - the early days of her career, her sources of inspiration, her current and future plans, and why "somebody that I used to know" can be found right here in our lovely interview.

You participated in a song contest when you were nine – and you left
the spot with the first prize in hands. Did the song (and its success)
“Hey little bird” also pave your way into “I want to step into the
music business” phase?
