Lisa Keane is a singer/songwriter based in Dublin. She began songwriting at the age of 13 after discovering a music course for teens that focused on songwriting, recording, and performance. This course sparked her interest in songwriting, and she has been writing her own songs ever since. Lisa draws inspiration from artists like Taylor Swift and Griff, blending elements from different genres to create her own distinctive sound.
“I have always loved music and singing since a young age. As a kid, I would put on home concerts for my family and make them listen to me singing and dancing around to Britney Spears songs. I began songwriting around the age of 13 after my Mam brought me to record a cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘White Horse’ at Contact Studios for my birthday. At the studio, I learnt about a music course called Suburban Sounds that they run for teenagers. The course is focused around songwriting and live performance. This really kick-started my interest in songwriting and I’m so grateful that I got the opportunity to take part in Suburban Sounds during my secondary school years.”
THE MORNING
Lisa’s first single of 2025, ‘The Morning’, will be released on the 25th July. The track was produced by Sam Stevenson and mastered by Richard Dowling. Keane wrote ‘The Morning’ a few years ago and Sam produced the first version of the song in 2022.
“The Morning has taken many different forms since I wrote it. It started out as a piano ballad but something about that didn’t feel right. I then went to Sam with it and he did up a version which I loved but I still felt like something was missing from the song. We then stepped away from ‘The Morning’ and worked on a few of my other songs together including ‘This Is How It Feels’ and ‘Nightmare’. It wasn’t until I took a step back from the song that I realised it needed another section which led me to go back to it and write the outro section. It’s funny that it worked out like that because ‘The Morning’ is about how sometimes a step back from something is the best thing in the long run.” – Lisa Keane
