John Lissauer is an acclaimed songwriter, producer, and arranger whose first big gig came at the age of 19, when he produced and arranged Al Jarreau's first recordings. Ever in good company, he went on to produce and arrange a pair of hugely successful Leonard Cohen albums and has been composing, producing and arranging ever since. John produced and arranged the first, iconic recording of Hallelujah, which has become one of the most recorded songs of all time.

The last 25 years have been prolific for John, creating award-winning work that has spanned the globe. The four gold records he received for Leonard Cohen and Bette Midler's albums bear witness to that. He has also worked with Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Air Supply and The Manhattan Transfer to name a few. And he has just Produced a new CD, Love and Gravity, for the exquisite Mary Fahl. John has scored twenty-five feature films, and has arranged and orchestrated even more films including Seven and That Thing You Do. His score for La Tete de Normande St. Onge (co-written with Lewis Furey) won a Canadian Academy Award for "Best Original Score in a Motion Picture."
