About Me

A Little Bit About Me: Female singer songwriters, surely we’ve had enough of them by now? There can’t be many of them left. With so many up and coming female artists living in the wake of Kate Nash, Duffy, Adele and the like it’s difficult to sift the hard graft from the manufactured crap. Everybody and their mother’s dog now own a copy of “Made of Bricks” so it’s easy to see why there has suddenly been a massive explosion of female singer songwriters and that’s why when you finally find one that knows what to do with herself and stands out of the crowd, you should take note.Indie folk singer Lizzyspit is one of the few. Ignore that fact that she’s been compared with Kate Nash, this girls got some soul. Originally trained as a classical singer, she quickly dropped the warbling lessons and picked up an acoustic. Add to this some charm, wit and a tug on your heart stings and you’ve got yourself a winner.Taking the old and worn out image of the cockney girl with the acoustic guitar and slapping it firmly about the face, Lizzy is a breath of fresh air to the ears. Be sure to buy the single and then in six months time when she’s being interviewed on T4 you can be the guy everyone hates who says “Oh yeah, I’ve been listening to her for ages”.
