Lhasa was born in upstate New York to an American mother and a Mexican father. Her family eventually settled in San Francisco, where she grew up speaking Spanish and English fluently. At the age of 19, she moved to Montreal, where she began playing music and performing in clubs.
Her breakthrough album, La Llorona, was released in 1997 and featured songs sung in Spanish, French, and English. The album was critically acclaimed and won a Juno Award (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy) in 1998 for Best Global Album.
