LISA THEE' ORACLE HIGHTOWER
A FORCE OF NATURE...
A voice that penetrates the soul and ignites entire audiences. Hightower blends her eclectic background in jazz, gospel, soul, and R&B to create her own genre: SOUL 2 SOUL Music.
Among her greatest musical inspirations are the legendary Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, whose artistry continues to influence and shape her musical journey.
She has graced internationally acclaimed venues including The Musical Instrument Museum, Lewis Nash Jazz Club, and various International Jazz Festivals.
Hightower recently became a residential performer and lead partner of the Vineyard Music Fest, where she serves as an equitable owner and artist helping shape this festival into an artist-driven movement. Beginning in North Carolina and expanding to Ghana as its first international destination, the festival creates opportunities for artists to travel between countries and organically expand their reach across borders.
Her newest creative venture, "Song Sanctuary," reimagines the concert experience as a sacred space of connection and spontaneous creation. In these intimate pop-up gatherings, Hightower performs completely unrehearsed, using the audience as her muse. Participants arrive with their questions, hopes, and life challenges, and through improvised songs, she channels responses that offer guidance, healing, and connection. This unique fusion of music and spiritual communion creates powerful moments of unity and understanding, transforming each gathering into a collective journey of discovery.
Her performance journey includes sharing stages with Grammy-winning artists and industry legends, from soul and R&B pioneers to contemporary gospel powerhouses. Her recent single "Til Morning" has become a beloved anthem of love, resonating with all who hear it! She continues to release new music from her "SOUL THERAPY" project.
