LISA HALLING-AADLAND
Lisa Halling-Aadland is a creative dynamo. A musician, songwriter, entrepreneur, traveler, wine connoisseur, producer and blogger, Halling-Aadland splits her time between Stockholm and San Diego. With a bachelor’s degree in business, she never settled into the corporate environment. So she launched a career that utilized her creativity: writing and playing music. Soon she was performing heroriginal songs in Sweden, London, NYC and Los Angeles. Thus far, she’s written and released two EPs, with one single becoming a Top 10 finalist in a Swedish National Radio’s Up & Coming contest. Last year, she and her wife, Lauren Aadland-Halling, started a film/photography/music production company, The Beatnik Group, which now takes them all around the world. If that didn’t keep them busy enough, they recently launched This Colorful World—a couples travel, lifestyle and music platform, catering mainly to the LGBTQ community. If you’re wondering where Halling-Aadland’s energy comes from, the answer is simple: “I do everything I love!” she says. “If I can inspire other women to do the same, that would be absolutely beautiful. Every day is an opportunity to get closer to pursue what you love doing. I remind myself of that every morning. It’s fantastic!” –SLO
