Thai K-pop star Lalisa “Lisa” Manobal is set to perform at the 97th Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. She will join artists Doja Cat, Raye, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Queen Latifah in a tribute to the film industry, which follows the recent wildfires in the region.
This year’s Oscars will forgo live performances of the Best Original Song nominees. Instead, the ceremony will spotlight songwriters through personal reflections and behind-the-scenes insights from the creative teams behind the nominated music. While details of the tribute performance remain undisclosed, the Academy has confirmed it as a key segment of the event.
Lisa’s appearance at the Oscars coincides with the upcoming release of her first solo album, Alter Ego, set to launch on Friday under her production company Lloud and RCA Records. The album follows her collaboration with Raye on Born Again, a single that has garnered international recognition.
Beyond her music career, Lisa recently made her acting debut in HBO’s The White Lotus, further expanding her presence in the entertainment industry.
