Template:Infobox musical artist 2 Lisa Lee Dark (born 16 April, 1981 in Swansea, Wales), is a Welsh singer and voice actress.

Early life

Born with Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, doctors failed to realise that she was female. In severe cases, the female sex organ becomes enlarged so it resembles the male sex organ, and Dark was originally raised as a boy.

Bullied at school, with family problems, and abused by a paedophile group, Dark believes that this is what pushed her into the entertainment industry.

Acting career

Dark first starred in a European advert due to a case of mistaken identity. Her other acting roles have been voice over work on low budget European horror movies, and minor voice over work on five Hollywood movies.

Music career

The beginning

Aged six, Dark was approached in her local park by a record producer, who offered to take her into the recording studio to record her voice. Dark refused for three years before she began recording.

Originally recording classical pieces of music for TV film and compilation albums, in 1992 Dark began to record dance music, leading to recording lead vocals for dance music, new age, and with Christian classical crossover group "New Era".

Solo music career

In 1998 Dark signed her first solo recording contract, releasing the album ‘The unknown story of Lisa Lee Dark’. There were three more dance albums released, achieving moderate success with sales of 160,000 records for the dance record label VIP international records.

In 2004, Dark released her fifth studio album titled "Breath of life". This would mark Dark’s attempt into the classical crossover music market as a solo artist, but due to problems out of Dark’s control this album turned out to be a huge flop.

The come back

In 2008, Dark returned to the music industry with the release of her debut opera album, "Sola, perduta, abbandonata". This album contains Dark’s debut opera performance in Puccini’s opera Turandot, playing the part of Liu. A limited edition second album "The screen behind the mirror" was also released, containing Dark’s debut opera recordings and her audition for the opera company that she is signed to.

Dark is related to Adelina Patti and Bette Davis.
