who gained international renown as part of the music group [[Dead Can Dance]] with [[Republic of Ireland|Irish]] former partner [[Brendan Perry]]. She is best known for her deep haunting [[contralto]] voice. Her career spans from [[1981]] to the present, and she has been involved in a wide range of projects. Gerrard received a [[Golden Globe]] award and an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] nomination for the score for the 2000 film ''[[Gladiator (movie)|Gladiator]]'' on which she collaborated with [[Hans Zimmer]]. She also sings and is an instrumentalist for much of her work, most prolifically using the [[Yangqin]] (a Chinese [[hammered dulcimer]]).

Born [[April 12]], [[1961]] in [[Melbourne]], Lisa Gerrard grew up in the multi-ethnic suburb of [[Prahran]] with her [[Ireland|Irish]] immigrant parents, where she was exposed to [[Ethnic Greek|Greek]], [[Turkish people|Turkish]], [[Italy|Italian]], [[Ireland|Irish]] and [[Arab]] cultures. Her upbringing in this diverse suburb had a large influence on her music, particularly on later Dead Can Dance albums and in her solo and collaborative work.

[[Dead Can Dance]] originally formed as a quartet in [[1981]] in Melbourne, but in [[1982]] moved to [[London]] with members [[Brendan Perry]], Lisa Gerrard and bass player Paul Erikson. The latter would shortly after fly back to Australia, leaving the band as a duo. [[Dead Can Dance]] recorded eight albums on the [[4AD Records]] [[recording label]] beginning with the 1984 [[Long play|LP]], ''[[Dead Can Dance (album)|Dead Can Dance]]''. The band split in 1998, but reunited in 2005 for a world tour.

In 1995 she recorded and released her first solo album, titled ''[[The Mirror Pool]]''. After the release of this album, she continued to work with Dead Can Dance, releasing their final album, ''[[Spiritchaser]]'', in [[1996]]. Following this, in [[1998]] she recorded ''[[Duality (album)|Duality]]'' in collaboration with [[Pieter Bourke]]. This would mark an extensive collaboration together for a number of film scores, including ''[[The Insider (film)|The Insider]]'' and ''[[Ali (movie)|Ali]]''.

Lisa Gerrard's first experience in composing music for a film, came with the [[1989]] Spanish film ''[[El Niño de la Luna]]'', directed by [[Agustín Villaronga]]. The film score was composed by Dead Can Dance and the film featured Lisa Gerrard in her first acting role. ''El Niño de la Luna'' describes the story of a young orphan with special powers, David, escaping an institution with the help of a fellow institute inmate, Georgina, played by Lisa Gerrard.
