Lisa O Piu

about

Lisa O Piu is Swedish folk singer Lisa Issaksson, with Piu roughly translating as ‘and more‘ relating to accompanying musicians/band. She has released "Whisperers, Wavers, Hunters and Sailors" (2008), "When This Was the Future" (2009), Behind the Bend (2010). In 2009 she recorded a live album with an English folk musician as Roger Wootton & Piu. She grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Stockholm where she spent her time in horse stables dreaming of becoming a riding teacher and owning her own stables. When she wasn’t with the horses she was drawing them. As she grew older and discovered music the drawings of horses soon became song lyrics and it wasn’t long before she had rescued her mother's old guitar from the attic and began experimenting with her voice and song. Subsequently, she began exploring recording techniques with a friend's multi-track recorder (lillportan). Her first recording, a cdr entitled ‘Cantering’ which was recorded on the four-track and released under the name of Lisa O Lillportan, was distributed by the small Swedish cdr label Hör upp and limited to a release of thirty copies.
