Lisa Lee Dark is a Welsh opera singer, songwriter, and voice actress.
Lisa Lee Dark was born in the Clydach area of Swansea on 16 April 1981.[1] Her distant relatives include Italian opera singer Adelina Patti.[2] She was born with the rare medical condition congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which leads to excessive generation of testosterone during the early part of foetal life.[3] This meant that she was raised as male because doctors failed to realise that she was biologically female, a fact even she did not discover until she was 19 years old.[4][5] She was very badly bullied during her school years.[5][6] She went to an all-boys comprehensive school where she would regularly get kicked, punched, spat at, and have obscene things screamed at her; even outside school, she would get the same treatment because she was slightly different and did not behave like all the other boys.[3][7] This left her with agoraphobia and PTSD.[7]
