Q&A WITH LIZZEN

What is your Name? Tell us where you are from and what first interested you in the entertainment industry?


My name is Lizzen. I’m from Akron, Ohio. In 2018 I released my first studio single and the community loved my sound and lyrics. That’s what made me start taking singing more seriously.

Who and/or what inspires you to create?


The world around me inspires me to create stories as well as music, friends, myself and social media.

How would you describe your sound?


I would describe my sound as unique and anointed, I don’t use auto tune, so my vocals are raw. What you hear is the real deal.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

What is your creative process like?


Creating for me is all day process. I may stumble across something while scrolling social media or just out in the lawn.. at the grocery store, whatever I can turn into a story is what I do. I don’t have a process it’s naturally in me.

What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?


At the moment I don’t have a specific artist. Honestly, I’m just glad my sound and music is finally getting heard around the world! I really stay in my own lane. I’m so focused on being a better artist day by day that I don’t really listen to other R&B artist I listen to a lot of gospel. Whoever is down to collaborate, let’s pop it!

What is the best advice you’ve been given?


Take everything as business never get your feelings involved when it comes to handling business. Be prompt and finish what you started.

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
