The Lisa D’Amato story is one of inspiration and intrigue. She was born Lisa Marie D’Amato in Los Angeles, California and grew up all over the area. Lisa knew from an early age that she was destined to be a performer. While being a kid, going to school, and growing up she also modeled, took acting classes at Playhouse West and Howard Fine, as well as commercial and improv classes, and sang and danced constantly. Through her teens and early twenties, Lisa developed an impressive modeling career, traveling the world working as the face and personality for many varied projects internationally. During this time she was also cast on America’s Next Top Model.
One passion of Lisa’s has always been music. She began aggressively pursuing recording in her early twenties. Lisa began collaborating with Jan Kortis of Kortis Records, creating many songs. One of which, “Ace Of Spades,” was picked up by gossip blogger Perez Hilton. The video was posted and received 200,000 views in one day, becoming one of YouTube’s “Top Videos” in the world. To date, “Ace Of Spades” has collected over a million views. From Kortis, Lisa began collaborating with Cisco Adler, producer for the likes of Mickey Avalon, Shwayze, and Dirt Nasty. They created several songs to be released on her first studio album, due in 2010. They also toured extensively.
In 2008, Lisa concentrated on developing herself as a solo artist and performer. She now records with producers such as DJ Lethal, Sticky Banana, Jez Collins, Roy Campanella Ill and others in creation and completion of the album. In tandem with recording she performs a show she conceptualized combining her music and performance skills with her “Super Smokin’ Hot Bikini Dancers (Felix, Coppertone, and Roxy). Together they have performed all across LA from up and down the strip to Venice, from San Francisco to San Diego.
Lisa and her team are now managed by Brendan Vaughn, who is co-creator and president of DBattery, a production company started by Lisa in early 2009 primarily to develop a reality project entitled “My Name Is Lisa (MNIL).” She was also cast on VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab” hoping to use the exposure as a platform for public self-betterment and the advancement of MNIL. MNIL will follow the misadventures of the crazy, fun-filled Lisa on her wild ride to the top through the magical madness that is Hollywood.
Whether onscreen or onstage, Lisa is a beloved performer that sparks curiosity and excitement in all who get to watch her. She loves her life and entertaining people and looks ambitiously forward to someday dominating world; cleverly, always saying…
“Love me or hate me, you’re still going to watch me!”
