Hi, I’m Lisa Hogan—a singer, composer, songwriter, and educator based in New York. I’ve built a career as a performer, producer, and arranger, releasing two full-length CDs and contributing to many projects across contemporary and classical spheres. My work spans original material, modern classical pieces, electro-acoustic music, theatre, film, and podcasts, and I love collaborating with artists and performers of all ages. As an educator, I’ve taught at Rutgers, CCNY, LaGuardia, Montclair State, and private studios, designing courses, directing performances, and coaching for auditions. I also run Lisa Hogan Vocal Studio since 2004, mentoring students in voice, musicianship, and creative writing, and guiding them through booking and producing shows in NYC venues.
