| Lisa Maffia first came to prominence as the "First Lady" of So Solid Crew, a large group of UK garage artists. She went on to outgrow her former group, releasing her solo album First Lady in 2003, and later founding her own label, Maffia Recordz. |

| We like how Lisa Maffia can straddle extremes without being phony. She's a responsible mother who can party with the best of them, she has extravagant tastes but a sound fiscal head and she renounces the gun culture that has constantly surrounded her. |

Lisa Maffia was born on October 1, 1979, in London, England. Her father is of African descent, but she and her sister were raised by her Italian mother in a Battersea housing estate in South London. Lisa was a good student and started singing when she was very young, but she was shy at first, and her self-consciousness got so bad that she even stuttered when she sang. Singers like Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross and Whitney Houston had the most influence on young Lisa.
At 16, Lisa began taking singing lessons in West London and even secured a Prince's Trust grant that would keep funding her in the coming years. Although Lisa was set to go to college with plans of becoming an architect, she also had typical teenage rebelliousness and bad judgment, which got her into some trouble. She got pregnant when she was 17 and gave birth to a daughter, Chelsea. |
