Storyteller, performer, dream weaver Lisa De Angelis on her new single 'Wildwood'

Lisa De Angelis grew up in Sydney and now lives in Brisbane, where she makes cowboy music for city slickers. She is a multifaceted artist who seamlessly blends her talents as a songwriter, performer, and storyteller. She’s also a dream to interview, giving thoughtful, interesting and often funny answers, so I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. The reason for the chat was the release of her new single, ‘Wildwood (Time to Grow Up), and De Angelis opens up about the lessons she learned from a long-distance relationship, and how that experience has shaped her growth and maturity as a person and an artist. She also talks about working with partner Paul Bain on the production (he also plays drums and production on the track) and with musicians Michael Moko (guitars, banjo, mandolin), Gabi Louise (fiddle) and Sonic Edwards (bass).  One of the standout aspects of De Angelis’s artistry is her ability to craft stories that resonate deeply with her audience. Drawing inspiration from her time as a tour guide, where she mastered the art of engaging and captivating audiences, De Angelis brings the same level of energy and authenticity to her live shows. She speaks of the importance of creating an ‘experience’ for her audience, rather than simply performing a set of songs.  As a songwriter De Angelis reveals that she often doesn't fully understand the meaning behind her own lyrics until the creative process is complete. This organic and intuitive approach allows her to tap into deeper emotional wells, resulting in poignant and relatable songs that explore the complexities of relationships, growth, and self-discovery.  De Angelis’s journey as a performer has been marked by both personal and professional challenges, including a significant hearing loss in one ear. Rather than letting these obstacles deter her, however, she has embraced them as part of the tapestry of her creative expression, seamlessly weaving them into her live performances.  In the interview De Angelis speaks of the magic that can be created in the live performance setting. She believes in the intrinsic connection between performer and audience, and her commitment to leaving her audience feeling uplifted and empowered is inspiring.  As De Angelis prepares to release her upcoming album, fans can look forward to more captivating stories, heartfelt lyrics, and electrifying live performances.  Listen to 'Wildwood (Time to Grow Up)' on Apple Music Listen to 'Wildwood (Time to Grow Up)' on Spotify Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Instagram Follow Sunburnt Country Music on Facebook  Sunburnt Country Music website  Hosted on Acast.
