Tina Turner Tribute Artist Luisa Marshall Japan 1987
In Aug. 14-17, 2003, Luisa's powerful Tina Turner lookalike and soundalike impersonation won her World Rock and Roll Tribute ArtistChampionship in Fort Erie, Ontario, sanctioned by the National Association of Performing Tribute Artist. She competed with the best tribute artists from the U.S., Canada and England.
As a child growing up, Luisa aspired to become an actress. She made several unexpected visits to a local film studio, only to be turned away by security each time.
At 17, she actually got her chance to show her singing and acting skills when she landed the role as Mary Magdalene in the popular musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
Her career in showbusiness was put on hold when Luisa decided to further her studies. She earned a degree in Bachelor of Arts major in Advertising and Broadcasting with flying colors, surprising all her professors from the strict Catholic university, as she was a known rebel student who preferred denim jeans over the school uniform.
Instead of being a successful marketing director, newscaster and public relations manager, she pursued her singing career which paved the way to a series of performances all over the world, including Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Middle East, Canada and the U.S. as a lead vocalist for touring bands.
She eventually got together with her two female siblings to form Hall of Fameband, a top 40 showband that toured North America. The release of the band's debut single, a remake of Sweeney Todd's "Roxy Roller" featuring Luisa followed. The next single was "IRIE" which was included in Z95.3 Vancouver's Hottest New Music CD.

There are a lot of look a like shows in north america. I've been looking for more shows. Louisa Marshall has been doing her impersonation to Tina Turner for 6 years now. Luisa actualy is asked when dressed normal and no costume if she does an impersonation of Tina Turner. We were in Las Vegas waiting for our Elvis impersonator friend at the American Superstars to meet us. When standing in the lobby waiting for the other impersonators to complete their meeting of the fans a lady came up to Luisa and mentioned she looks like tina turner. We told her that she does a tribute to tina turner in Vancouver bc, Canada, There ended up being a line of people getting her autograph. How weird. The other day at a bus stop a lady asked if Luisa was the "Tina Turner Lady". Luisa told her she impersonates Tina Turner and walked away. Direct
