Fischer was born in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. Before pursuing a solo career, she accompanied R&B singer Luther Vandross as a backup singer on several of his tours & albums until his death, in addition to providing backing vocals for artists including Melba Moore and Billy Ocean. She has worked with several other famous singers, both as a session vocalist and a backup singer. Musicians she has supported include Chaka Khan, Tina Turner and Roberta Flack.
In 1983, under the stage name Xฤna, Fischer released a freestyle single, "On the Upside", that met with moderate success. In 1984, a club track she recorded entitled "Only Love (Shadows)" was briefly featured in the motion picture Beat Street and was later released in 1995 as part of the Hot Productions' The Best Of Criminal Records compilation.
Her career peaked with the 1991 release of "How Can I Ease the Pain" from her solo album So Intense, which won her a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1992. The album So Intense spawned three Top 20 R&B hits and peaked at #5 on The Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. Also it peaked at #100 on the Billboard 200 chart. Fischer also provided stirring vocals on the power ballad "Colors of Love" which was featured on the soundtrack album for the film Made in America.
She is currently a session singer and songwriter and has toured as a backup vocalist with the Rolling Stones for the past 21 years. She worked as a backup vocalist during the same period of time for Luther Vandross for 22 years before his death, having to juggle her time between his concert tours and those of the Rolling Stones, with whom she has a growing audience as she plays the foil to Mick Jagger onstage more and more frequently. She also toured with Tina Turner for her Twenty Four Seven Tour. The tour was the top grossing of 2000 worldwide. She continues to sing backup for Tina Turner & The Rolling Stones as well as write songs for herself and upcoming artists. Lisa was just recently featured in April's Issue of Jet Magazine's "Where Are They Now?" column. Lisa hopes to record a new album soon.

The lyrics to Lisa Fischer's version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" are a traditional Christmas hymn that celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The song begins by inviting all faithful Christians to come to Bethlehem to witness the birth of the King of Angels. The repetition of "O come, let us adore Him" emphasizes the central message of the song: the joy and reverence that should be felt in the presence of Christ.
The song then shifts to a choir of angels, who sing "alleluia" to celebrate the glory of God. The lyrics encourage all who hear them to join in the praise of God and to recognize the divinity of Jesus Christ. The final verse of the song is a direct address to Jesus, proclaiming his divine status as the Son of God and the Word of the Father.
