About Lissa
Lissa Lauria loves life, people, being random, awkward moments in elevators and of course, her work. If you know her, you realize that fulfilling her destiny in the entertainment business is what she's all about and on the top of her list. With a contagious laugh, a "Lucy" personality and loads of talent, Lissa is in L.A. working her way toward that goal. Through this site, you will get to know Lissa much more. Enjoy!
Acting
Lissa just wrapped a pilot and a commercial and is about to start filming another pilot. Hopefully it will be ready mid-season. She is attached to two upcoming films, soon to be in pre-production. For agent name and more information, please see her Resume page.
Music
Being nicknamed "Mozart" at the young age of 16, Lissa is determined to "be a difference" in the music industry, stay out of the box and do things that have never been done before. Over the past few years, she has been cultivating her vocals and songwriting skills. This summer, several of her originals will be released with the help of her new Grammy award winning producer. Watch for links and updates!
Music in the player is "UR" an older song Lissa wrote and recorded.
We will be adding one of her new songs shortly.
