Vitamin D & Lisa Sunshine: Vitamin D is a singer/songwriter who has been writing since she was a teenager. Her work tends to be very emotional, personal music that falls under punk, Cheezy & singer-songwriter. Some of her first songs surfaced in 1999. Fearful of the stage, she decided to sing and write on the sidelines. But due to a life changing event, she decided she was going to do this - and this time - do it her way. She has performed at her festival twice, briefly.
Lisa Sunshine is a songwriter, performer & drummer and plays drums on many of Vitamin D's songs.
