Originally from Odisha and raised in Chicago, Lisa gained recognition for her rendition of “Tareefan” in the 2018 film “Veere Di Wedding.” She has also lent her voice to hits like “The Wakhra Song” from “Judgementall Hai Kya,” “Nadaaniyaan” in “The Sky Is Pink,” and the party anthem “Chandigarh Mein” from “Good Newwz.”
In 2017, she collaborated with Jamila Woods to create the theme song for the Emmy-nominated web series “Brown Girls.”
Lisa made her acting debut in Ananya Panday’s comedy-drama “Call Me Bae,” directed by Colin D’Cunha, alongside a talented cast including Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, and Mini Mathur.
