“I sing to comfort, heal, move , transport and awaken the divine voice within us all.”
Lisbeth Scott, from Topanga, California, is a singer-songwriter / multi-instrumentalist, and one of the most sought-after soundtrack singers in Hollywood. She works with such top name composers as Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, John Debney, Harry Gregson-Williams, John Powell, and Mark Mothersbaugh to name a few. Her unique style and sound can be heard on 100s of films and television shows including ER, CSI, Alias, "Bruce Almighty," and both "Shrek" movies., She studied classical piano intensely for years and then discovered the power of her voice. Along the way she picked up percussion and guitar and a singer/songwriter was born. As an instrumentalist, she plays keyboards, guitar, harmonium and djembe.
CNN filmed a piece about the classically-trained Lisbeth that aired internationally for four months, featuring her as the next in a long line of talented contemporary female singer/songwriters to make their mark in Hollywood. She has crossed cultural lines by singing in eight languages over several projects including Armenian, Aramaic for "The Passion of the Christ," and Latin for Paul Schwartz’s album, "State of Grace," a Windham Hill/RCA release.
Lisbeth has also been featured vocalist on three recordings by Paul Schwartz, including "State of Grace, "Earthbound" and "State of Grace II," which spent 10 weeks in Billboards’ Top 10.
At the same time Lisbeth’s soundtrack and collaboration careers were taking off, she began recording and releasing her own material on her own label, Zone Records. Lisbeth's solo albums are jewel-like in their clarity, emotional depth, and feeling. Her first CD "Sirens" was followed by "Climb" and both received critical acclaim, copious television use and radio play. With her next CD, "Dove," Lisbeth was accompanied by players from the Seattle Symphony and had the honor of working at Abbey Road with Head Engineer Peter Cobbin. Mr. Cobbin continues to work his magic on Lisbeth’s music in her recordings.
Her newest album, "Passionate Voice," on Sarathan Records, continues Lisbeth's evolution as a singer songwriter of considerable talent in the vein of Sarah McLaughlin, Sarah Brightman, and Dido. Each song on the album is unique and has the ability to penetrate your heart and your soul. The L.A. Daily News calls her "…soulful and original…"
