Early career
Stanley's career started in the 1990s when she joined the Sligo-based wedding band, The Treetops.[citation needed] In the late 1990s she made her first national performance at the Cavan International Song Contest. In 2000, she sang her own composition, "Shine", from a field of 1000 entries to reach the final eight of the National Song Contest.[citation needed] This was held on 20 February 2000 at the RTÉ television centre in Dublin. The year after, she sang the same song at the Baltic Song Contest which took place in Karlshamn, Sweden. She, again, reached the finals. In 2004, Stanley toured the country with "Dancehall Queues and Hucklebuck Shoes". This show featured the children of former Irish Showband stars. She has made appearances in various television shows and releasing her first album, including the single Love Me A Little Bit Longer.[citation needed]

In the following two years, Lisa Stanley released her third album, Duets with Philomena Begley, John Hogan and Sandy Kelly. Early in 2016, she released a new single with Max T Barnes entitled looking for a girl. This song is featured in her fourth studio album, 'Heart And Soul' which is her most commercially successful album to date reaching number 11 in the iTunes charts for country music.
