Lisa Bund (born Anna-Lisa Bund; 31 May 1988, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany) is a German pop singer, songwriter, radio host, actor, and reality television star. She is best known for achieving third place in the fifth season of German casting show Deutschland sucht den Superstar ("Germany Seeks the Superstar" a.k.a. "German Idol"). Lisa Bund released her first album, Born Again in 2007. The first single was "Learn to Love You". It reached the Top-20 in the German single-charts. After the end of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS), she appeared in Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! in 2008.
As a radio moderator, she worked during 2008–2009 for the radio program World Chart Show on RPR1. She played herself in the German Big Brother 11.
Lisa Bund grew up with her older brother and their parents in the Hessian town of Hattersheim am Main. There, she attended the Heinrich-Böll-Schule (school), graduating with the Mittlere Reife. She then began training as a hairdresser, which she broke off after a short time. She then worked for almost two years in her mother's lingerie business in the Altstadt district of Mainz.
Bund had her first experience with casting at the age of 13. In 2002, she applied for the talent competition Teenstar on RTL 2, without her parents' consent. When the organizers of the show, left an invitation to recall on her parents' answering machine, she had to withdraw from the competition. In the following years, she tried her luck at the competitions Star Search (Sat.1), and Popstars (ProSieben) in Germany, where she was eliminated early each time.
In the fall of 2006 she participated in the auditions for the talent show Deutschland sucht den Superstar. In the round of the last twenty, singing "Hurt" of Christina Aguilera and "A Woman's Worth" of Alicia Keys, she qualified for the theme shows. She always got good reviews from the jury during the motto shows, and was the last woman left.
