Lisa Barbuscia, also known as Lisa B., was born and raised in the vibrant borough of Brooklyn, located within the five boroughs of New York City. From a very early age, she was fortunate enough to receive a comprehensive education in music and dance, ultimately graduating from the esteemed High School of Music and the Performing Arts. This prestigious institution, made famous by the iconic movie 'Fame', provided her with a solid foundation in the performing arts.
As a teenager, Lisa's unique physical appearance, which is a blend of her Puerto Rican, Italian, and Irish heritage, caught the attention of a modeling agent. This unexpected turn of events led to her being whisked away to London, where she quickly established herself as an international model. Concurrently, she continued to nurture her musical aspirations, collaborating with her then-boyfriend Ben Volpelliere, a member of the popular band 'Curiosity Killed the Cat'.
Their joint efforts resulted in the creation and recording of songs, which ultimately secured Lisa a recording contract with London Records/Polygram. Additionally, she signed a publishing deal with Warner Chapell Music, leading to her relocation to Los Angeles, where she began to collaborate with other songwriters and embarked on a burgeoning acting career.
When not in front of the camera, Lisa is an avid enthusiast of photography and writing, often contributing to publications such as peoplenews.com and other magazine outlets. She is also an active supporter of various charitable organizations, including the International Fund for Animal Welfare, for which she serves as the UK spokeswoman, and UNICEF.
