Passion & Meaning has covered UK-based online radio station’s Radio WIGWAM annual awards since they originally started organising this event back in 2017.

This year, for the first time, there will be a live ceremony. It will be held at the Bedford – a venue that is synonymous with helping to launch the careers of high-profile acts like Amy Winehouse and Ed Sheeran.

When were you first introduced to music? 

When I was around four years of age our family acquired an old player piano.  I was immediately enthralled with it because I loved to open its doors and watch the action inside. It was almost like an obsession to try to pick out little melodies.

Elizabeth was really happy to interview 18-year-old Lisa and share her story, having first heard Lisa’s latest release Find My Way on Radio Wigwam Ladies Night 😀

When were you first introduced to music? 

As far as I remember it was at a young age maybe when I was 6. Mum used to play most of the 80s music … Michael Jackson, Michael Bolton and Phil Collins were Mum’s favourite artists.
