BIOGRAPHY

Dominican/American singer/songwriter LIZ MENEZES began her musical career at the tender age of 10, when she began playing classical piano and singing in her church. At this age, she began writing poetry which later she would convert to songs and along the way she would give them life thru melody. She did not stop there she continued going on auditions for vocal groups, as a backup vocalist, as a soloist you name it and along the way, not only did she land singing gigs but she was introduced to the modeling world as well. To gain studio experience, she began doing backup vocals for freestyle artists such LilSuzy, Cynthia, Coro, George Lammond, Fascination and TKA to name a few. “Wasn’t Love” written for Fascination by LIZ MENEZES appears on the Freestlye Lives album. In her lyrics and music you will find not your typical love story but a storybook, lyrics that truly reach home. She is currently working on her first solo album, and while not limiting herself to musical opportunities she has recorded American standards in Bossa Nova in Rio de Janeiro. Included in these projects, which were released in Japan and Europe are such names as Bossa Nova great Roberto Menescal, partner of Albatroz Music Raymundo Bittencourt, rising/upcoming Brazilian guitarist Eli Menezes who has already played with such greats as Gospel singer Fred Hammond, Lauryn Hill and Richard Bona to name a few. In 2007 two of her renditions of such Beatles classics as “For No One” and “Nowhere Man” included in the compilation BEATLES IN BOSSA released in Japan went 1 in I-tunes Japan. She now is proud to be a FAMECAST FENOM, winning in the Latin category for season 4 2008. LIZ MENEZES is now giving a new face to the Latin music scene with a growing fan base looking for a new sound. Her first solo venture is sure to be a listen to and hit producing album!!!!
