Lisa Murdoch’s Inspiring Rise From Choir to Rap Stardom

Lisa Murdoch’s journey through music is as raw, real, and evolving as her lyrics. Growing up in the UK, surrounded by music and poetry, she has transformed from a choir singer into one of the most exciting voices in modern British music.

“I started singing from a very young age,” Lisa recalls. “I was in theatre and then joined a cathedral choir when I was around 9 or 10.” That early training helped build the strong vocal foundation that shines in her work today. But by high school, she had discovered something new songwriting.

She began to explore her voice through lyrics, inspired by poetry lessons she took to improve her English. “That’s what helped me become the lyricist I am today,” she says. At 15, she found rap and her life took a whole new direction.

Going Viral Was Just the Beginning

What began as a creative experiment turned into her first taste of success. “I posted a music video online and it went viral,” Lisa says. That one post got the attention of local radio stations and media. “At that age, I felt like a local celebrity,” she laughs.

It was clear this was more than luck. Lisa had a unique sound, driven by her background, voice, and lyrics that reflected her journey. A big part of that journey was influenced by her family, especially her older brother.

“My brother is a DJ. He introduced me to rap music from a young age,” she explains. That early exposure laid the groundwork for the bold, genre-blending style she is now known for.

Nature, Spirituality, and Sound Healing Shape Her Art

In recent years, Lisa has found a deeper layer in her music. “Nature is my biggest inspiration now especially the forest and mountains,” she says. “That’s where I connect with parts of myself I can’t reach in a regular environment.”

This connection inspired her spiritual and introspective EP titled Fungi, which received national airplay on BBC Radio 1. The EP also landed her a major placement on the HBO and BBC TV series Industry. Her work has been recognized by a leading South Asian Canadian magazine and even played on Dash Radio in California.

For Lisa, these moments are proof that staying true to your creative voice pays off.

The Viral Hit with Aitch That Made Waves

One of Lisa’s most talked-about achievements is her feature on the viral track I’m Gone with UK rap star Aitch. The song became the most streamed track off his EP and gained massive popularity online and in live shows.

“I remember I skipped college to record that track,” Lisa recalls. “I got into so much trouble, but it was worth it.”

That one day helped change her career. The track remains a fan favorite, with audiences still requesting it at live performances.

A Voice in a Male Dominated Industry

Lisa’s path as an independent female artist has not always been easy. “In this industry, people assume you don’t know anything just because you’re a woman,” she says. “You get taken advantage of a bit.”

She also speaks honestly about the pressure of image. “I try not to focus on that. I know my music has real meaning, and that’s more important.”

In the early days, when she began rapping, Lisa received online hate. “It was brutal,” she says. “But I didn’t care. These people didn’t know me. I was so determined to keep going.”

Now, many of those early critics are fans. “Funny how that works,” she adds. Her biggest advice: “Don’t listen to the hate. Use it as fuel.”

A New EP That Explores Every Side of Her

Lisa is currently working on a new EP that explores a wide range of genres from garage and indie to rap and R&B. “I get bored easily,” she says. “I love trying new sounds and experimenting.”

As a Gemini, she says she has many sides to show. “This EP definitely reflects that. There’s something in it for everyone.”

Her approach to music is fearless and creative, always pushing the boundaries of sound and meaning.

Creating for the Right Reasons

With growing recognition, Lisa is mindful of the pressures that come with success. “It’s so easy to get caught up in numbers, likes, and followers,” she says. “But you have to remember why you’re doing it.”

For Lisa, music is a form of therapy. “Sometimes I have to remind myself that I create because I love it. Not for the outcome. Create for yourself the rest will come.”

Sound Therapy and Healing Through Music

Beyond music, Lisa is also a trained sound therapist. She uses her skills to help others stay calm, focused, and inspired. “I want my music to do the same,” she says.

Lisa is passionate about meaningful lyrics. “I like substance in music. I want people to think, to reflect. But I also have tracks that just make you feel good and want to dance.”

That balance of depth and fun is what makes her music so relatable to different listeners.

Final Words from Lisa Murdoch

“You are whole just as you are,” Lisa says. “Don’t be afraid to speak your truth, even if it makes people uncomfortable.”

This authenticity is what makes Lisa Murdoch’s voice stand out in today’s music scene. With a new project on the way, international exposure behind her, and a grounded mission to heal through sound and storytelling, Lisa is not just an artist she’s a force.
