Alisa Childers (born Alisa Noelle Girard, April 17, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for being in the all female group ZOEgirl. She has had a string of top ten radio singles, four studio releases, and received the Dove Award from being with ZOEgirl.
Born Alisa Noelle Girard to Karen and Christian music pioneer, Chuck Girard of Lovesong, she grew up in San Fernando Valley, California. She studied gymnastics and piano at a young age. Childers was very athletic, and was the captain of her high school cheerleading squad and softball team. At the age of 21, she moved to New York and ran a youth center in southeast Manhattan.
Childers left New York and moved back to California, where she was contacted by a family friend about starting a group upon return. After a few months, Childers agreed to pursue the idea. She was introduced to Kristin Swinford-Schweain and the two began composing songs. A few months later, Chrissy Conway-Katina joined the group. In 1999, ZOEgirl was signed to Sparrow Records and became one of the fastest-selling debut artist in the record label’s history. While with ZOEgirl, Childers wrote the singles "I Believe", "One Day", "Unchangeable", and "Scream". She toured with many artists including Newsboys, TobyMac, Avalon, Jump5, and Natalie Grant. In 2002, ZOEgirl won the New Artist of the Year award at the GMA Dove Awards. In 2011, she joined former bandmates Schweain and Katina for a ZOEgirl reunion interview on the Brian Mason Show in Nashville. The group later announced their reunion in 2013 to record a lullaby album, though nothing has materialized as of yet.
