Lisa Williams grew up in Virginia outside of Washington DC. Both of her parents are musicians and started her on piano as a child. After high school, Lisa taught herself guitar and decided to pursue an associate’s degree in music which brought her out to sunny Los Angeles. She has been living and performing as a freelance artist in southern CA for the last 12 years.

She relocated to San Diego for a few years and returned back to Los Angeles 8 years ago. It was then that she came across a video on YouTube of COTLG LA and fell in love with the unique style and sound of the sacred steel guitar. With encouragement from her Pastor, Bishop Marva Neal, Lisa started sitting in at service on Sundays and went on to become a member of the church and one of the house musicians at Church of the Living God, Jewell Dominion.

Lisa has performed with a variety of bands and musicians all over the country but her favorite gig is playing the guitar and helping to lead service on Sundays. In May, Lisa graduated with her Master's in Social Work and looks forward to starting her career as a helper and advocate.
