Life and fame

Born in St. Asaph, Denbighshire, Wales, in 1975 Lisa is best known for her five years with one of the largest UK pop groups of all time, Steps. The group, which came together in 1997, split up at the end of 2001.She spent a short time managing her three younger brothers, including Andy in a group of their own called 3SL, but after no huge success they were dropped from their label, and split up.Deciding she would go solo, Lisa was signed to Mercury records and stepped back into the limelight in April of 2003 for her first single, Lately, a song which she wrote. The single was released on May 12th of the same year and pulled into the singles chart at number 6.On September 8th Lisa released her second single (also written by her), ''Too Far Gone'', and it pulled into the charts at number 11.Her third single was rumored to be a double a-side featuring ''I'll Wait For You'', a ballad, and ''U Sure Do'', a cover that Lisa had been performing at PA events, however it never saw the light of day. Mercury wanted all of Lisa's singles to reach the top ten and because Too Far Gone just missed, they dropped Lisa.Lisa went on to be featured in the Girls of FHM music video for Do You Think I'm Sexy? in the summer of 2004, all the while preparing to release a new single.The single, ''Get it on'', was a collaboration between Intenso Project and herself. At the time the song was created they had yet to score a record deal for the song and were forced to fund the video for it themselves. Eventually the Ministry of Sound picked the song (just the song, not them as a group or Lisa as solo) up and it was released on 28th November. Despite a string of PA performances the song charted at a dismal number 23.Though they failed on their first attempt Lisa said she would work with Intenso Project again and they would release another single, but after problems which are known only to them, they decided they would not release another song.Then, in the summer of 2005, it was revealed that a camera crew from MTV had been following Lisa for nearly a year, tracking her life, and those of her brother, manager, and her brothers girl friend Michelle Heaton (of Liberty X). The show was to be the UK version of Newlyweds - a fly on the wall look at lives of Jessica Simpson and husband Nick Lachey.As time passed more information was revealed. The show, penned Totally Scott-Lee, was to follow Lisa on her last ditch effort at a solo career. The challenge posed to Lisa was that she had to score a top ten hit with her next single, or she would be forced to quit the music industry.In a rush Lisa was signed to a small record label, Concept Records, and began recording songs for her next single. Concept chose Electric and starting making plans for its release. The single had to be released on the 10th of October in order to meet with deadlines for the MTV show.The song was released and, despite a television show backing her, it failed to reach the top ten. Electric charted at number 13, and Lisa's solo career was facing a major dilemma - what to do next. Record labels in Japan, Australia, Germany and South Africa were interested in her, so when Electric charted it was announced she was going to release singles in those countries. It's likely she'll start her quest for world domination in January/February 2006
