LISA DAWN MILLER
Lisa Dawn Miller is a singer/songwriter, performer, and artist advocate, whose life sits at the intersection of music legacy, business, and creative rights.
The daughter of legendary songwriter Ron Miller—whose work includes the timeless classics For Once in My Life, Touch Me in the Morning, A Place in the Sun, Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday, Heaven Help Us All, I've Never Been to Me, Someday at Christmas, One Little Christmas Tree, Everyone's a Kid at Christmas Time, If I Could, and many more. Lisa grew up inside the fabric of the music industry, witnessing both its brilliance and its challenges firsthand.
She went on to build a multifaceted career that spans music, finance, and live performance. As a former First Vice President at Morgan Stanley, she developed a deep understanding of business and asset value—insight that would later become critical in her fight to reclaim her family’s intellectual property rights.
Lisa is also a performer who has toured extensively throughout the U.S. She is best known for producing and starring in Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show, currently in its 16th year, where she has captivated audiences across the country. Offstage, she has navigated the complex and often unseen battle for ownership, control, and legacy in the music business.
Drawing from her unique journey, Lisa now speaks and performs on stages where music, storytelling, and advocacy meet—offering audiences an intimate look at the realities of artistic ownership, legacy preservation, and the human stories behind the songs that shape our culture.
Through a blend of live performance and powerful storytelling, she brings a voice to artists, families, and creators navigating the evolving landscape of intellectual property and creative control.
Lisa heads up LDM World—producing, licensing, and marketing intellectual properties. She is the President of Hackett Miller, Inc., which produces live theatrical musical productions that tour throughout the U.S. Lisa is also the Managing General Partner of the Ron Miller Legacy Songtrust, which is the keeper of her father’s legacy.
As a singer and entertainer, New York Cabaret Scenes writes, "Lisa Dawn Miller's show at The Metropolitan Room was one of the best shows we have ever seen—very rarely do you get to see a singer cast a magic spell on stage and have the audience in the palm of her hand." Jeff Rossen, Chicago Editor/Recordings Reviewer, Cabaret Scenes Magazine said of Miller's "Fly Away" CD debut, "Take a collection of songs of exceptional quality and breadth, set them in striking arrangements and then turn the lyrics and melodies over to a singer whose voice can cut straight through the heart, and you've got one heck of a dazzling debut."
Lisa is married to actor/comedian Sandy Hackett, son of legendary comedian Buddy Hackett. She is the very proud mom of singer/songwriter, Oliver Richman—a graduate of New York University Tisch School of the Arts, who is already making a name for himself—writing, producing, and performing his own classic hits which include The Ballad of Phil and Phyllis and Bunnies. Lisa is also the very proud mom of Ashleigh Hackett, a beautiful singer, dancer, and performer.
