Hot new interview with Lisa Good
Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?
Lisa Good: I’m from South Africa. I grew up in a very musical family, they just love to sing, wherever we are or whatever we’re doing we just start singing, but none of them thought of taking it as a career, so I decided to take it further and be the first 1 in the family to become a musician.
Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?
Lisa Good: Lisa is my middle name. My full name is Sandisiwe Lisa Ntonga but people started calling me Lisa because it’s much easier to pronounce than my other name, then my producers started calling me ‘Good’ cause all things are good when I’m working with them in studio, so I decided to make it my stage name “Lisa Good” cause I love saying I’m all “Lisa Good” when someone asks me how I’m doing hahaha….
