Thea Lissi’s journey is more than a story — it’s a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of music to heal. Set to release her highly anticipated single “BAD GUY” in February 2025, Thea is bringing a fresh yet deeply personal voice to the Country music scene.
Born and raised in Louisiana as one of eleven siblings, Thea’s life has been anything but easy. Music became her refuge, a space where she could process pain and transform it into something powerful. Her early years were shaped by hardship — losing her father to incarceration at 13, then to suicide just a year after she graduated high school, followed by the devastating loss of her last surviving grandparents. Instead of letting grief define her, she turned it into fuel.
Thea first made waves as a Pop/R&B artist, but something was missing. She realized that her roots — the sounds, stories, and raw emotions of Country music — were calling her home. Inspired by artists like Lainey Wilson and Shania Twain, she embraced a swampy, soulful sound that blends her diverse musical influences with honest storytelling.
“No more hiding,” Thea says. “I’ve lived through the darkness, and now it’s time to tell my truth. My story isn’t just mine — it’s for anyone who’s ever felt lost, broken, or like they didn’t belong.”

Her upcoming single, “BAD GUY,” marks a defining moment in her career. A bold anthem of strength and transformation, the track is expected to showcase her signature blend of grit and vulnerability. With compelling lyrics and a haunting melody, “BAD GUY” is more than just a song — it’s a statement.
As Thea Lissi prepares to take the next step in her musical evolution, she invites fans to join her on this journey. “This is the music that only comes when you’ve lived through it all and are ready to speak your truth,” she says.
