Liz Menezes

Dominican/American singer/songwriter LIZ MENEZES began her musical career at the tender age of 10, when she developed an interest for music and began playing classical piano as well as singing in her church. She also began writing poetry, which later she would convert to lyrics and along the way she would give them life thru melody. Her desire to be involved in music led her to audition for vocal groups, as a backup vocalist, and as a lead singer. Not only did she land singing gigs but she was introduced to the modelling world as well.



To gain studio experience, she began doing backup vocals for freestyle artists, she was invited as a writer as well on the Freestyle Lives album were she wrote “Wasn’t Love” for artist Fascination.

She is currently working on her first solo album, and while not limiting herself to musical opportunities she has also 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, and 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. 



Her lyrics and her music are not your typical love story but a storybook, songs that truly reach home, her inspiration is life and people. As she says, “Music is a way of communication, of reaching out to people!” Today her music and lyrics reach out to those who seek their story told through music.
