An Inspired Chat with Liso lee of Los Angeles

Liso lee shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Good morning Liso, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What is a normal day like for you right now?
Honestly, pretty routine—work, a little downtime, and trying to stay sane in between!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello, my name is Liso Lee, and I am a session guitarist based in Los Angeles.
I work across recording sessions and live performances, collaborating with a range of artists to support the musical direction of each project. I continue to build my experience through ongoing work and remain committed to contributing meaningfully to the music I’m part of.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
I’ve learned the most from the artists and colleagues I’ve worked with over the years.
Each project has taught me something different—whether it was professionalism, problem-solving, or how to collaborate effectively. I’m grateful for those experiences and try to apply what I’ve learned to every new project.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I started realizing that my challenges and struggles could fuel my growth when I began reflecting on my experiences and using them to improve my craft.
It wasn’t an overnight change, but gradually I learned to channel difficulties into focus, creativity, and motivation, turning what once held me back into something that drives me forward.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
I’d say the public version of me is real, but it’s only one part of who I am.
In my work, I focus on what each project needs, so that side naturally shows up more. Offstage, I’m quieter and more reflective, but the core values and the way I approach my craft are the same in both spaces.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I believe I’m doing what I was born to do.
While I’ve certainly been influenced by mentors and collaborators along the way, the path I’m on now reflects my own passion and choices. Every project I take on is a conscious decision to follow the music I care about and the work I want to grow through.
