Myspace Contact Tables
You would think that after having had a worldwide major label deal fall through at the early age of 19, Liz might have been deterred from the music industry for good. Instead, she has perservered and continued to experience all aspects of it knowing there was a reason she got noticed.Never content to do the kind of music record A+R wanted her to ,she continued writing her own various styles of music and singing for an eclectic blend of artists over many years.
A classically trained pianist, she began her music career the traditional route, performing with her band in her native Canada.Not feeling enough creative control she then went on to establish herself as a solo artist and her first solo effort charted top ten on local indie radio. She then moved on to the burgeoning rave scene of the 90's where she had the opportunity to perform on stages with artists such as Acen, Dee Lite, Jam and Spoon and Gabrielle.Always wanting to make her way in the U.K. she made a brief move in the mid 90's and did vocal work for the London-based Kickin' and Slip'n'Slide record labels garnering her a top 10 hit with the house producers Boomshanka for the track "Gonna Make You Move".Then back to Canada, where she went on to work with Toronto based top -40 pop stars The Boomtang Boys with Virgin records ,performing vocals on their album and touring across the country with MuchMusic TV.This effort afforded Liz her first Gold record. After years of studio work and collaborations with various producers in Canada and the U.S. ,Liz Melody has found her way back to the U.K and the music she loves.
Lately Liz has fallen into a comfortable niche of coming up with the vocals(lyrics and melodies) for other producer and dj types instrumental tracks alongside writing and recording her own songs. Appropriately, as Melody is her true middle name she finds these opportunities highly stimulating, never quite knowing what direction things will take based on another's artistic impetus. Her preferences lean towards the more obscure dance formats with particular respect to breakbeat and tech/electro house as well as being an experienced and versatile singer/ songwriter in many genres.
