Meet Lisa
Lisa Smith-Putnam’s dynamic personality, positive outlook and vocal talent will leap from the stage and screen, to capture the attention of both audience and industry with her new show Back Home with Lisa Smith-Putnam. She is a master at interviewing and continually aims to make those in her presence feel like they are something special.
“I treat people the way I want to be treated and this show will be a positive, supportive and fun place for artists to come,” explains Lisa. “The show is also meant to be an experience for all those watching - whether at home or in the live audience, this is entertainment to make them feel good about themselves.”
Lisa Smith-Putnam served as CEO of Integy Entertainment, executive producing several fabulous classic smooth jazz albums. As a consultant for the Experience Music Project, Lisa brought legendary artists such as Quincy Jones and Dr. Dre to perform on behalf of the EMP. Lisa further collaborated with entrepreneur and philanthropist Paul Allen to create and executive produce the museum’s “We’re going to Rock” album, mimicking the world class museum’s rock exhibit. She then went on to head Your Music Network, an outlet for independent artists that was a fusion of MTV & VH1 with a marketplace to aid independent music sales. Under her guidance, Your Music Network was voted “one of the new shows to watch!” by TV Guide.
Lisa is a graduate of Seattle’s St. George Elementary and Holy Names Academy High School. She started her career in Los Angeles, after attending Pitzer College, as a production coordinator for “Entertainment Tonight” and “Woman to Woman.” From there she moved to Bernie Grudman Mastering, later became general manager at TNT Records and Management, where she was instrumental in the worldwide success of Digital Underground and later rap legend Tupac Shakur. She also served as COO of Amaru Entertainment.
Having achieved professional success, it’s nurturing her personal relationships with those she calls her “lion cubs" that she hopes will be the most lasting and recognizable of her accomplishments.
Lisa is also an avid athlete, who played collegiate soccer, an outdoor enthusiast and an advocate for animal rights.
