Liz Lohnes

Liz Lohnes is a driven, passionate, and hard working 18 years old singer from Massachusetts, whose influences are Beyonce, Chirstina Aguilera, Joss Stone, Alicia Keys, to name a few.

She has been singing sice she was a little girl but she says that she didn’t always know she wanted to be a singer ... “I used to play violin. My brother (who plays saxophone) and I used to go to a blues jam for kids. I decided that I wanted to try singing and that's where it all started. I had always been singing before that though, from the time when I was 8 years old and got the part of the Little Mermaid in a community play.”

Her sweet voice is capable of captivating anyone and her songs are easily to relate to. She writes all the lyrics and tells that “they all come from different experiences. I write based on what I'm feeling. For example, even though it was recorded recently, "Why'd You Turn Your Back" was written in 8th grade about a best friend who ditched me to be one of the "cool kids". All of my songs come from something going on in my life. I like to write based on actual situation, that way I can put more emotion into what I'm singing and people can relate to my experiences.”

On her MySpace page, she has up five great songs... I recommend you to check out “Where you are”, which is my favourite, this is a song full of heart and emotions... “Can you Handle it”, a very catchy tune...”Do your thing”, also a catchy tune with a great message that is be yourself.

So, if you are looking for music to enjoy and to relate to, sing along with Liz Lohnes on her myspace and let the stories on her songs lead you.
