Season 5 finalist Lisa Tucker entered the competition as a talented 16 year old, and has blossomed into a talented young lady.

After appearing on American Idol, Lisa has been busy working on her music. She’s signed and recording with pop/R&B star Ne-Yo and his production team. Lisa has also appeared on several popular TV shows, and is currently working on a movie with actor/recording artist Bow Wow.

During season 5, contestants weren’t able to play musical instruments on the show, but Lisa impressed stadiums of people on the American Idol Season 5 Tour when she played the guitar and piano.

Happy Birthday, Lisa!
