Lisbee Stainton is a 19-year-old singer/songwriter, born in Southampton, UK. Lisbee appears live on Nov 24 2007 at O2 Arena, London to an audience of 35,000.

At the age of 8 she took up the guitar, having wanted to for what felt like forever, and immediately fell in love with it, performing with her instrument for one of the first times in a junior school assembly with “Streets of London”.

She broke her first guitar in half when it fell on a table from a small but very deadly height, which was deeply upsetting. Finding herself feeling completely at ease on stage, Lisbee was encouraged to perform her own compositions in her early teens and was buoyed along by the positive reaction she received. She has a new and lovely shiny guitar now and hopes never to lose an open mind, and to always be able to song-write with total and wholehearted enthusiasm.

Her advice to all budding guitarists is: “Heights and a guitar, as a combination, isn’t a happy means to a healthy instrument.”

Lisbee's Bio

Lisbee Stainton is a 19-year-old singer/songwriter. Born in Southampton, UK, she wrote her first songs at the age of 10.

A door opened into a love of music at an early age, and since then she has developed an eternal passion for it. Lisbee has been performing since she was young, mainly due to little concerts run by her piano teacher in Hamble Village Hall.

The piano wasn?t for her though, and at the age of 8 she took up the guitar, having wanted to for what felt like forever, and immediately fell in love with it, performing with her instrument for one of the first times in a junior school assembly with ?Streets of London?.

She broke her first guitar in half when it fell on a table from a small but very deadly height, which was deeply upsetting, but someone did stick it back together again.

Finding herself feeling completely at ease on stage, Lisbee was encouraged to perform her own compositions in her early teens and was buoyed along by the positive reaction she received. She has a new and lovely shiny guitar now and hopes never to lose an open mind, and to always be able to song-write with total and wholehearted enthusiasm.

Lisbee has played gigs all over the UK in the last year. On Saturday 24 Nov 2007 she will play the newly reopened Millennium Dome - the new O2 Arena in London - to 20,000 people.

Her advice to all budding guitarists is: ?Heights and a guitar, as a combination, isn?t a happy means to a healthy instrument.?

?I want to musically unravel life. Kind of like a ball of wool, but not.?
