Lisa Lashes (born Lisa Dawn Rose-Wyatt on 23 April 1971 in Holbrooks, Coventry, England), is an English electronic dance music DJ and music producer known for mixing numerous Euphoria albums and for her Lashed dance music events. She has headlined European and international music festivals such as Global Gathering, Creamfields, Nocturnal Wonderland and Dance Valley, UK events such as Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Inside Out and Planet Love and in recent years she has toured China, Canada, US, Russia, Australia and New Zealand.
Lisa Dawn Rose Wyatt was born in Holbrooks, Coventry, where she grew up with her mother, father, 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Raised a Jehovah's Witness, on Sundays Lisa would attend meetings and knock on neighbours' doors with her parents to hand out The Watchtower and occasionally read from the Bible but her interest waned soon after her parents separated. In her early years Lisa went to John Shelton School, then to President Kennedy Comprehensive School and at 16 joined a 2-year youth training scheme with Marks & Spencers where she continued to climb up the ladder for 8 years.
Lisa first discovered a passion for dance music when she began clubbing at legendary events such as Miss Moneypenny's and Chuff Chuff where she got to see her favourite DJs of that time: Lisa Loud, John Kelly and the late Tony De Vit. Inspired by her newfound love for music, Lisa began practising on her friend's vinyl decks, buying records from charity shops and borrowing tunes from record libraries, practising for hours each day. Lisa soon decided to try her hand at djing outside of her bedroom walls, she just needed a name and a nickname she was given as a child for having long eyelashes seemed to suit well.. Lisa Lashes.
