Wendy & Lisa, consisting of Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, are a prolific music duo known for their rich contributions to the music industry, both as part of Prince's band The Revolution and through their subsequent collaborative work. Beginning their careers in the limelight as key members of The Revolution during the height of Prince's fame in the mid-1980s, particularly contributing to the iconic "Purple Rain" soundtrack, the two talented musicians embarked on their own path shortly after.

After leaving The Revolution, Wendy & Lisa forged a dynamic partnership that brought their own style to the forefront. Their self-titled debut album, "Wendy and Lisa" (1987), showcased their abilities to blend pop, rock, and funk, exemplified by the hit single "Waterfall". Following the success of their debut, "Fruit At The Bottom" (1989), and "Eroica" (1990) came as a display of their evolving artistry. Despite changes in popular music trends, they continued to produce thought-provoking work like "Girl Bros." (1998), which marked a deepening of their songwriting with personal introspections. Their more recent work includes "White Flags of Winter Chimneys" (2008), embracing a more independent and experimental sound, and the release of "Snapshots" (EP) and various scores like "Touch Theme (From "Touch")" which highlight their versatility and continuous evolution as musicians. Beyond their albums, Wendy & Lisa have also become sought-after composers for film and television, imbuing their signature musicality into numerous scores.
