Timeline
Her mother was Mexican-American visual artist Marylou Ynda-Ciletti (April 4, 1936 – November 17, 2013).
Coleman's father, Gary Coleman (born 1936), is an Anglo-American session musician.
Lisa Coleman (born August 17, 1960) is an American musician and singer-songwriter, primarily on keyboards and piano.
In the 1960s and 1970s, he was part of the collective The Wrecking Crew and Gary Coleman befriended fellow musician Mike Melvoin.
Their families became close with each other and often played and recorded music together.
Lisa Coleman formed a close relationship with Melvoin's daughter Wendy, saying once "We've been familiar with one another since we were in diapers".
Coleman got her professional start at age 12, playing keyboards in the Bubblegum pop band Waldorf Salad.
The band, which also featured her siblings and Jonathan Melvoin, was signed to A&M Records in 1973.
In 1975, Coleman played a small role as a high school pianist in the Linda Blair made-for-TV film Sarah T. – Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic.
Coleman was a recent high school graduate, working as a shipping clerk and teaching piano, when friend Niki Yoergler, who was working as a secretary for Prince's personal manager, Steve Fargnoli, brought Coleman to the attention of Prince.
Coleman is known for her tenure as a member of Prince's backing band The Revolution from 1979 to 1986, as well as Wendy & Lisa, her musical partnership with fellow Revolution alum Wendy Melvoin.
Coleman, the middle child of three, was born in Los Angeles, California.
After some convincing on both ends, Yoergler got Coleman an audition and she was hired as part of Prince's backing group in 1980 for his Dirty Mind album and tour.
Coleman played keyboards for Prince on his Controversy and 1999 albums, providing vocals on the latter, as well as the three albums she played as an official member of The Revolution: Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day and Parade.
She was also featured as a session player on recordings by The Time and Vanity 6, two side projects of Prince.
Shortly after the completion of Prince and The Revolution's Parade project, Prince started a new band, and Coleman and Melvoin started working together as a duo.
As Wendy & Lisa (and for one album, Girl Bros.), they released five full-length albums for various labels, including Columbia/Sony and Virgin, as well as their own independent imprint.
Coleman and Melvoin also worked as a collaborative team as film and television composers; their credits include Crossing Jordan and Heroes, both created and produced by Tim Kring under his Tailwind Productions banner; Nurse Jackie, which won them an Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Theme; Prime Suspect; No Tomorrow; Witches of East End; and Touch for which they received an Emmy nomination.
They also composed the music for NBC's Shades of Blue.
In 2009, Coleman played vibraphone on the Alice in Chains' song "Black Gives Way to Blue", from the album of the same name.
In April 2009, Coleman gave an interview with Out magazine, where she spoke openly about her past romantic relationship with Wendy Melvoin.
Coleman and Melvoin were in a long-term relationship, and continued their collaboration after their romantic relationship ended (see Wendy & Lisa for more details).
Coleman and Melvoin were awarded with an Emmy for Outstanding Original Main Title in 2010 for their theme to Nurse Jackie.
Coleman (and Melvoin) also share the honor of winners of a Grammy and Oscar for being part of The Revolution, as Purple Rain won two Grammys, and the Oscar for Best Original Score.
