Lisa Diy

Lisa Diy (born April 25, 1966 in Quezon City) was recently recognized by the local government as the fastest judge in Quezon City, handing down court decisions with startling speed and efficiency.  A Law graduate of San Beda College, Lisa honed her songwriting skills as a high school colegiala in St. Paul’s College, playing keyboards for a band, joining interscholastic songfests and composing school hymns. Coming from a musical family, Lisa got her first break as a professional songwriter in 1987 when she passed a demo to popular singer Randy Santiago through a friend. She has since gone on to write songs for Regine Velasquez, Melissa Gibbs and Sharon Cuneta, among many others. “The songwriting process is like a fly in your ear,” she explains. “You have to deal with it.”

Lisa has co-written many songs with fellow songwriter Chat Zamora.
