Lisa!

Lisa Marie Presley (February 1, 1968 – January 12, 2023) was an American singer-songwriter who built her own artistic identity while honoring her musical heritage. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, she grew up in the spotlight and faced early challenges after losing her father at age nine — but music became her powerful creative outlet.

In 2003, Lisa Marie released her critically acclaimed debut album To Whom It May Concern, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold, a remarkable achievement for a first album. She wrote or co-wrote nearly every song, showcasing her talents as a songwriter and performer. She followed with successful albums like Now What and Storm & Grace, collaborating with respected artists and proving her musical range.

Beyond music, Lisa Marie was a passionate philanthropist. She founded the Presley Charitable Foundation, supporting initiatives like Presley Place — transitional housing and career support for families experiencing homelessness — and worked with children’s charities and disaster relief efforts.

Her career was defined by resilience, creativity, and a desire to make a positive impact through both art and humanitarian work.
