Lisa Moorish (born 16 January 1972)[1] is an English singer-songwriter. She had a solo career beginning in 1989, and was the lead singer of the indie band Kill City in the early 2000s.
Moorish began her musical career in 1989, aged 17, when she signed to Jive Records. She released two singles with Jive, although a huge club and dance chart hit, they were not commercial hits and she was dropped. In 1991 she released two singles with Polydor, but again commercial success eluded her. Signing to Go! Discs in the mid-1990s yielded an album (I've Gotta Have It All, 1996), as well as a collaboration with George Michael on a version of his Wham! hit "I'm Your Man".
In 1995, Moorish performed backing vocals on an acoustic version of the Oasis song "Fade Away" for the Warchild charity album.
In 1996, Moorish provided backing vocals on Northern Irish indie band Ash's hit single, "Oh Yeah", which reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
In the early 2000s, Moorish was a member of indie band, Kill City. They were a four-piece consisting of Moorish, fellow songwriter "Welsh" Pete Jones on bass and guitarists Tom Bowen and Stuart Le Page.[1] In 2004, they released their debut EPWhite Boys, Brown Girl on Alan McGee's Poptones label. Nash Gierak (Mower) joined the new line-up on bass in 2004–2006, alongside Tom Lindley and Pete Denton (the Kooks) on guitar.[2]
