"Listening to 'Stop shh-ing me' by Liisa is like hearing one of the Spice Girl's sing to a Bloc Party beat; something unimaginable, yet at the same time oddly enjoyable. It's rare in commercial pop music that you see musician's who are as musically creative and imaginative as they are talented, but Liisa certainly is one of them. "

"Liisa with a double 'i' is a young, fresh and very dynamic singer-songwriter. Her songs are instantly likeable and and at times very infectuous, especially when you realise the song you've been humming for the last 10 minutes is 'Stop Shhh ing me', Liisa's current single which has that undefineable 'big pop hit' quality written all over it!

This young lady is a talented multi-instrumentalist who is not afraid to experiment with different sounds and instruments, and she also manages to write meaningful yet easy to identify with lyrics.

Her voice is sweet yet powerful, and does not hide her vulnerability which is deliciously tinged with a very appealing Scandinavian twang which gives away her Finnish origins."

Liisa is a Hampshire/Berkshire -based indie pop artist who calls her musical style "a One-Woman Girl Band". Born in Helsinki, Liisa moved to England in 2007 and has since been active on her local music circuit, having played over 50 gigs and been called the "Alternative Pop Music Scene's Hot New Thing" by the leading local newspaper Newbury Weekly News.

Liisa's catchy debut single will be officially released on the 15th of March 2010 through BOBoW Records UK, which previously released her limited-edition E.P. in the previous year. Liisa has worked on the single with London-based producers Tristan Warren and Patrick Achtelik. Apart from the electric guitar, she played all the instruments on the track, including the keyboards that she has played since the age of 5.

Liisa continues to write all her material herself: "In today's world, everybody seems to co-write. But the basis of my music is all about the songs. When people write together, it's more often about creating a hit, hooks or something marketable rather than trying to realize a unique artistic vision. Some songwriters that I admire, like Neil Finn, Tori Amos and Ken Stringfellow, are as great as they are because their music has not been watered down by co-writers during the creative process."

Liisa performs live as a one-woman band, playing 2 keyboards, a loop pedal and the occasional percussions at the same time while singing. "I used to do gigs with just me and  piano, and it didn't sound at all the way I wanted. So this is my One-Woman Girl Band setup - it allows me to use beats and all sorts of sounds in my songs, which is inspiring." In Finland, Liisa has been the warm-up act for the country's household name, legendary indie band 22-Pistepirkko. She played her first London gig in December 2009 and is looking forward to more live opportunities along with the release of her debut single.
