Well, in the greatest testament to her musical skills, Lisa is set to be discovered by Billie and her brother Finneas O’Connell while searching for a quiet place to practise her instrument.
After catching wind of Lisa playing some tunes, the multi-Grammy Award-winner invites the youngster to her studio so they can take part in a special jam session together.
