LIZZ FIELDS

There is an Ella essence with a touch of Dianne Reeves in the voice that pours out of Lizz Fields. Her style represents the uniqueness the South Philly neo-soul movement but is definitely infused with her own jazzy vocals. A graduate of Creative and Performing Arts High School, which lays claim to alumni such as Boyz II Men, Amel Larrieux and members of The Roots, Lizz launched into her musical career singing background vocals for Jill Scott.

Soon she found herself performing in some of the best known Philadelphia venues like Zanzibar Blue and the Five Spot. She’s opened concerts for the likes of Jody Watley, Kindred and the Jazzyfanastees. Her tremendous stage presence and vibrant performance style won her solo gigs in New York at S.O.B’s, Joe’s Pub and Nell’s. To see her live is to see her shine, she captivates audiences with her passion and untamed spirit.

Her unintentional debut CD “bydaybynight”, which has sold over 12,000 units worldwide by word of mouth, actually started out as a demo. A friend gave it to a local Chicago retailer and they put it on their best-selling list and told other retailers about the CD, and so on and so on. On “bydaybynight” Lizz worked with famed produced Damon Bennett to make her sound distinctive in a sea of indie artists and the combination worked. Together they have created a cross-genre journey for her listener that incorporates jazz, soul, a little hip-hop and a lot of smooth vocals.

Lizz has received nationwide radio support on public and indie stations, and her album has truly found its feet in Europe. If you’re looking for the next new thing with staying power, you’ve found her. Check her out at www.lizzfields.com.
