On Friday December 4 starting at 7PM PST we will host the 7th Annual (virtual) UO Hip Hop Jam. Links to the livestream will be provided on this site (but we will post the performances on YouTube). We would like to introduce our confirmed performers, and here is one of our favorites: Lisa Vazquez (Lisa has performed at two of our Jams before). She will be performing a set at our Jam and doing a one-hour Intermediate Beatmaking workshop on December 5 at 3PM PST.

Bio:
Lisa Vazquez is an Argentine bred Wonder Woman in all aspects of her craft. A Hip Hop / Soul producer, Vocalist and Multi Instrumentalist, Lisa blends worldly and jazz flavors with sultry vocals and deep lyrics all over a classic hip hop thump to get you moving. She has shared stages with Just Blaze, Talib Kweli, Chali 2na, and KRS One while being featured at festivals such as Soundset, SXSW, Summer Meltdown and Oregon Country Fair. Lisa was also a finalist in the 2018 International Goldie Awards DJ and Beat Battle, garnering herself esteem in the eyes of well known producers and DJ’s.
Lisa is the answer to what hip hop has been lacking in recent years. She creates her beats live, while layering her vocals to create a rich canvas for her lyrics and sultry vocals.Truly a one woman show like no other. Lisa taps into her creative world further with her Beatmaking Series – “Flip It Friday” which you can find on Youtube.
Lisa has been doing lots of workshops / one-on-one music production lessons that focus heavily on the MPC, but not limited to it. She recently released an EP called Hit Like A Girl, as well as a single with the German label, Dedicate, that is an all-female compilation including Georgia Ann Muldrow and others.
She has recently partnered with Isla Instruments as a beta tester for the SP2400 and is doing sound design for them along with artists like DJ Battlecat, Questlove, Ski Beatz, Just Blaze, Young Guru, E A SKi, etc. She has a full-length album on the way called Nocturnal Sun dropping in February.
