Lisa Kekaula (born July 31 1967 in Los Angeles, California) is the lead singer of American "rock 'n' soul" band The Bellrays.

Kekaula was born to an African-American mother, Linda and Native Hawaiian father, Alan Kekaula in Los Angeles, California, although the family continued to grow and relocated to suburban Moreno Valley, California. While there, Kekaula began to immerse herself in singing and had her first appearance in a talent show at Edgemont Elementary School. She graduated from Moreno Valley High School and attended the University of California at Riverside.

Kekaula is married to Bob Vennum; they have one daughter, Twylla.

Kekuala has featured on two singles by British house music band Basement Jaxx, most famously Good Luck, the track "Realizer" from the 2004 disc Legion of Boom by The Crystal Method, and "Talkin' in My Sleep" from The Bloody Beetroots' first studio album, Romborama. She has also been featured in the most recent The Legendary Tigerman album, Femina.
