Short bio for people that might not know Lisa.
Lisa Mei Norton is a retired Air Force Senior Master Sergeant turned conservative singer/songwriter. She is Co-Founder of BigDawg Music Mafia, a social networking site she and her songmate, "BigDawg” (a retired Marine Corps officer), launched in August 2010 to help showcase conservative, grassroots artists.
While serving in the Air Force as an airborne Russian linguist, Lisa moonlighted as a lead vocalist in various cover bands at military clubs overseas. In 1990, she competed for and was selected to tour with the elite Air Force "Tops in Blue" entertainment troupe, performing as a vocalist/dancer for military families at 138 bases around the globe.
Lisa's passion for music carried on after retiring from the Air Force in the form of political songwriting with her friend BigDawg, beginning with the 2008 elections and continuing on with the advent and rise of the Tea Party movement. She has performed at numerous local, state, and national events over the past couple years. Her music, covering a wide range of genres, focuses on key events that have transpired since the 2008 elections. Her first original Tea Party song, "A Revolution's Brewing," in which her now 7-year old son, Joshua, recites the Preamble to the Constitution, was featured in SPIN Magazine's 25th Anniversary edition in April 2010 with spot-on punditry from rock legend Ted Nugent.
Lisa works full-time as a defense contractor and does all her songwriting, recording, writing for BigHollywood.com, and work promoting BigDawg Music Mafia and its members in her "spare time.”
To this day, she continues to honor the oath she took to "protect and defend the Constitution." While she may have hung up her uniform, she intends to do everything in her power to keep the message of freedom alive -- and her music is now her weapon of choice.
