In 1999, she sang with Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bochelli in Las Vegas. Also in Vegas, while hosting a daily Karaoke show at The Barbary Coast Casino, she sang with the Jordanaires and Bobby Rydell.
Since moving to the Washington D. C. area in 2001, Luisa has been a featured vocalist on several radio shows, and has sung with several well known local bands including The Newports, The Oz Revue and Daryl Davis. In 2003, Luisa won first place in a regional Karaoke contest sponsored by the Brunswick, MD VFD. In 2008, she won first place in a Spanish language Karaoke contest sponsored by El Tejano Restaurant in Germantown, MD.
She released her first CD, "Luisa Rose and her Imaginary Orchestra", in 2005. Her second CD, "Luisa & the Reverbs" was released in April, 2011.
