Lisa Horan Music

People are complex: silly and serious; hopeful and desperate; content and confused; in love and repulsed. Lisa Horan’s music is a reflection of the complexities and ironies within us all. “I think we all can be pretty inconsistent in our own thinking from time to time, but, for the most part, we try to mask our inner contradictions as best as we can,” says Lisa. “My songs are a product of my desire to explore and voice some of these shifting emotions, in addition to things I believe to be true, and personal and witnessed experiences.”

Lisa’s songs cover several genres: Pop/Rock, Adult Contemporary, Contemporary Christian, and Country. Some highlight ache-of-the-soul kind of turmoil. Others infuse hope and faith. Some tell stories of courage and destiny. Others tackle confusion, insecurity, and personal revelation. And some are tongue-in-cheek, gritty, and downright sarcastic.

In addition to Lisa's songwriting, she is also plugged into the music industry as a freelance writer specializing in music, TV, film, and video. She is also the Creative Director of Studio Unknown (www.studiounknown.com), a recording studio and audio post-production house. There she records demos of her extensive (and growing) catalog of songs on a weekly basis. Her music has been selected by industry insiders to be sent to record labels and publishing companies and it has received a number of awards.

“The songs I write express experiences that resonate on one level or another with most people,” she says. “It’s always my hope that my music hits a chord with listeners and they ultimately connect with the emotion a particular song is meant to inspire – whether it’s a sense of happiness, contemplation, reassurance, or empowerment.”
