LISA LAYNE is a voice for the ages. She is the singer of one of the world's most loved Christmas songs "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU". Today it is recognized as the # 7 Christmas song of ALL Time.

Born in Tyler, Texas, at the age of three her folks moved to Dallas where she began singing professionally at the tender age of four. She worked shows with her Dad, who is a professional musician, on and off thru her school years.

Lisa formed her first band just after high school. She was the lead vocalist and played Bass Guitar. This ultimately let to her being noticed by a local band, Vince Vance and The Valiants, which had had a taste of some major success. Lisa worked the road with them for 5 years. During that time they recorded the Christmas Smash "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU". Lisa was the singer on that record.

With the success of "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU" Lisa moved to Nashville. In Nashville she joined a very successful Beach Music Band and toured with them until 1995.
