A data analyst by trade, Chicago-based artist, Lisa Mishra, became a Bollywood sensation, literally overnight, when her cover of “Tareefan”, a mash-up of the Veere Di Wedding song by the same name, and DJ Snake’s “Let me Love You”, went uber-viral. For this week’s Global Notes, Lisa, comes to WBEZ, her “literal favorite radio station”, for a sit-down with Jerome McDonnell and Catalina Maria Johnson of Vocalo’s Beat Latino. We’ll play some of Lisa’s tunes and hear the story about her rocket-like journey to fame.
