Lis Addison is an award-winning and internationally recognized Composer, Vocalist, Dancer and Electronic Musician who does her own production. She is best known for her trancey electonic compositions that support sacred healing chants and songs, and like time travel, transport the listener into the Realms of Light. Her compositions range from meditative to ecstatic and are designed to inspire, empower and support healing for the individual and the natural world.
Addison’s music can be heard on conventional and internet radio and in dance, yoga, healing and meditation centers from Alaska to Zimbabwe. Her music has received favorable reviews in Africa, Canada, Europe, India, Korea, Mexico, Russia and the US and she has performed extensively throughout the United States.
Addison is a pioneer in the field of electronic music having received her MFA in electronic music and recording in the late 1980s where she began her exploration of vocals, electronics and rhythm. As the field has grown, so has she, releasing 10 albums and scoring soundtracks and sheet music. Addison is also a dancer and teaches that the meditative state is not the only way to healing so she gets people up moving, chanting, singing and dancing with her signature practice Kinetic Voice (KiVo). When not recording, she convenes dance and chant circles in the US, Europe and Africa.
