'a lullaby singer?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'secret assignment' is the wordplay.
'secret' becomes 'hush-hush' (synonyms).
'assignment' becomes 'job' (I've seen this in another clue).
'hushhush'+'job'='HUSH-HUSH JOB'

'for' is the link.
