Alter Ego, LISA’s debut full length album which was released earlier this year, was met with an outpouring of excitement and praise from fans and critics alike. Rolling Stone heralded, “Lisa’s versatility is clearly a strength — and one that she’s wielding in her nascent acting career, as evidenced by her stint on The While Lotus‘ current season. It helps make Alter Ego feel like an encouraging first step in her figuring out how where her solo career might go.” The album debuted at an impressive #1 on the Top Album Sales chart and in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 (#7).

On stage, she made sure to shout out her character, Mook, from The White Lotus Season 3. LISA made her acting debut in Emmy-nominated Season 3 of the popular HBO series, captivating audiences as a member of the hotel staff.
