Lisa O'Neill started writing songs and music at an early age in her native Ballyhaise, Co. Cavan. She moved to Dublin, aged 18, to study music on a full time basis. Early on she was welcomed into the folk and trad scene in pubs and clubs around the city where her singular voice, witty lyrics and observations on modern Irish life gained her popularity and set her apart as a unique talent.
Her independently released debut album, aptly titled "Has an Album" was launched in August 2009 and sold out throughout the country displaying her popularity not just in Dublin but nationwide.
Lisa, listed in the Irish Times culture supplement as an act to watch in 2011, will be appearing with her band on "Other Voices 2011". She is currently working on new material for her second album.
