Desna Sisarich

Desna Sisarich (born c. 1947)[1] is a New Zealand pop singer who released a handful of songs in the 1970s.

Learning piano and guitar at a young age, her musical talent was not always obvious to her school peers due to her shyness and reluctance to perform publicly.

[2] In 1968 she appeared on the New Faces portion of the New Zealand talent show Studio One, and also had one of her compositions performed by Yolande Gibson.

In 1972 and 1973 she released three singles under her own name, Thought He Was a Friend of Mine, Some Time in the Morning and Take My Life, and had three songs on a rare live album recorded at the Christchurch Town Hall with Lutha, Blerta and Quincy Conserve.

The club largely financed by her day job ran at a loss, and eventually folded in the late 70s.
