2025 marks a milestone for Adelaide’s own DJ Lisa D, as the local radio favourite celebrates 25 years in the music industry.

From her first sets in the early 2000s to performing on arena stages and being heard across the airwaves of Adelaide radio, Lisa has built a career around passion, persistence and a deep love of music.

For more than two decades, Lisa has been part of team at Fresh 92.7 –  the voice behind flagship shows like Freakin’ It with Lisa D and It’s Freakin’ Windback Wednesday, programs that not only celebrate the music but also the culture and community that surround it.

As one radio colleague puts it: “Lisa’s voice is part of the DNA of Fresh 92.7. Her shows don’t just play music — they tell stories, they celebrate culture and they’ve created lasting memories for generations of listeners. She’s more than a host; she’s a pillar of Adelaide radio.”

Lisa’s DJ career has taken her from Adelaide’s club circuit to some of the country’s biggest stages.

One of her proudest moments was stepping onto the stage at Fridayz Live at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, warming up the crowd for a big line up of international R&B heavyweights.

She also knows how to bring the energy to sports fans, holding down the decks as a regular DJ for local NBL side the Adelaide 36ers, keeping the vibe strong inside The Orb.

To mark the milestone, Lisa is throwing a special Old Skool R&B Anniversary Night next month.

“Music has always been more than just a job, it’s been my life, my family, my community,” says Lisa.

“To be still doing what I love 25 years later is an incredible privilege, and I can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with the people who’ve been part of the ride.”
