Inspiration Bomb – Lisa Mitchell
When singer/song-writer Lisa Mitchell was 16, she had the mixed-blessing of becoming a finalist on a highly competitive reality television show that requires talented young people to sign potential-record-contracts before they’ve even walked into the arena.
Let’s be honest: that “career model” works really well for some… and not so well for others.
So when my niece told me that Lisa had name checked me as a “role-model” (on this show I didn’t watch), I felt compelled to write her a letter. I just wanted to remind her (as someone once reminded me when I was 16) that our value as artists is not determined by “votes” or “judges” or “popularity”. I wanted to remind her that although she’s clearly talented, it’s up to her what she does with that talent, and she can take her time deciding.
She wrote back, and from there we became firm friends, which brings us to here and now.
Lisa Mitchell is today’s Inspiration Bomb artist.
In this Bomb, Lisa tells it like it is, swears a little, and allows herself to be utterly and absolutely vulnerable, which is a damn hard thing to do, especially when you’ve gone through the whole “People who I don’t know, knowing me” thing. Bloody bravo. Respect. She also talks about God, and money. Yep – we go there!
I want to hear what YOU take from today’s Bomb.
Lisa’s wise words are accompanied by our final instalment from Inspiration Bomb Artist Mel of “Cecilia Fox”. Get into it.
