Lisa Michaud
A native New Yorker Lisa discovered the music that continues to define her. At 14, she got kicked out of CBGB for being underage. At 16 and 17, I interned for the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label. She stumbled into adulthood in Los Angeles where the supported herself waiting tables, before moving back to New York to work for Marc Jacobs.
In 2009, she followed in the footsteps of her jazz singer grandmother Stella Levitt (née Aguilar) and moved to Paris with no plan and no money. There, she began writing about life in France and publishing work in various publications while nannying, proofreading papers and tutoring English at Starbucks or in parks.
She currently lives outside of Paris with husband, son and sassy cat, Le Tigre.
