Creating pop hooks & capturing an audience with a powerful vocal delivery. Knowing when & how to deliver...I’m obsessed with nailing that, because I love how music transforms moods. As an independent artist I’m supported by South African radio with 12 songs spinning. An all about the song and audience artist. Always want to do more, much more :>
Our sassy Johannesburg singer-songwriter, Lisa Goldin is a bundle of fiercedom. Rubbed shoulders with the greats whilst touring London, Ibiza, Dubai & Asia, her performances have led to sharing stages with Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, plus supporting Scouting For Girls & Barbara Tucker. That’s Goldin for you :>
Her passion for songwriting started in London, with debut album “HerStory” enabling her with Vivienne Westwood sponsoring her wardrobe and playing originals at GuilFest 2008.
Most of Goldin’s career has been outside her home country, until 2013. In South Africa, Goldin released singles “My Fire”, “Really Doesn’t Matter”, “Who Are You, Again?” Album and Book, “40 Ways To Tame Musicians” Book & ”Remix 4 Goldin” EP airing nationally on radio and TV. Hit song “My Fire” was listed as 2nd most played song on No.1 radio station, Hot919FM 2016-2017. The #WhoAreYouAgain Project is about what it takes to be a successful artist and for anyone hungry enough understand how to sustain a long career in the music industry. Shortly after her return to Dubai, 2019 saw Goldin nominated as a top ten finalist for Yasalam’s UAE Emerging Talent Competition.
We’ve been waiting for 4 years for her next album, “Something I Used To Wear”. The first single from Album No.3, is called “Hope” with her African heartbeat pounding proudly from the start! Following that is boy-girl crush titled “Three Days”.
