About Risa Binder

 
Portrait of Risa Binder
To Risa, anything can be a microphone, "I remember when I was growing up...I used to sing to the "Flashdance" album, in my family room, using an ear of corn as my mic"
Now Risa is taking her music dreams and making them reality. An emerging singer/songwriter, Risa's song "All The While" won the Songwriters Hall of Fame New Writer Award. Her song "Falling Apart" can be heard in the movie "Queen Sized" on the Lifetime Channel.

Currently Risa is going back and forth to Nashville writing, recording and working on her second EP. She has the pleasure of recording with producers and musicians who work with Joss Stone, India Arie, Norah Jones, LeAnn Womack, Martina McBride.

Risa performed for New York's Z100 Zootopia pre-show opening for Akon, as well as performed the National Anthem in Giant Staduim and RFK Stadium in Washington, DC. Festivals include the Dewey Beach Music Fest, NACA National and Regional Conventions, Westpoint Military Academy as well as performing at several colleges up and down the east coast. Risa's soaring vocals and catchy hooks stay ingrained on your mind long after seeing her perform.

    Bonjour Risa, "Nashville" in far from my village. I'm french, near Germany.Please, excuse my simple english. I love your sound but 4 songs, it's not enough. I'll go on your myspace next. Now you have a fan in France. Some friends of mine have an ourstage page. The bans is called YULES. They sing a good pop/folk music in english.If you can, go on their page, listen their sound ans then send me a comment about them. Perhaps you'll become a fan for them. Hope to read you soon. Take care. Pierre

    Hi Lisa!

    Thanks for the add request and congrats on your top 10 showing in Pop. I'm lucky to have won with talent gals like you and Lauren in there, not to mention the talented boys, too, that's for sure!

    I've read your bio and you have some very impressive accomplishments to your credit. You go, girl! Happy-dark

    Good luck in September's contests - I'm sure we'll be seeing you in that semi-final round again at the end of this month.

Recording in Nashville/ Song "That Kinda Day" on TV!

Hey All!

I was out in Nashville a couple months ago recording 2 new songs… “Living For This” and “Falling into You” The fabulous producer/arranger Dan Hagen and amazing musicians had lent there talents again to my music and its sounding amazing.

I have the rough mix of both songs and I can’t stop listening to them..I think wow ..these didn’t exist yesterday morning ..and now …here are two new works of art! I keep replaying “Living For This” because I feel like its my truth right now. The song is almost like my theme song.

The first verse: This Dream of Mine is a rollercoaster ride. With its ups and downs and shaky ground, its a wonder how I keep it alive…but its all I want…its all I ...
