If its an in depth explanation of my life and career so far you'd better catch me after a gig with a big bottle of gin! ...but for those of you without the time or inclination, the basics goes like this...im a Devon lass whose lived and loved music for as long as I can remember. Tooting the clarinet and saxophone from the age of 7 gave me my thirst for jazz, then after discovering my voice with the school big band during a rendition of 'Skylark' aged 11 there was no stopping me! I went on to study music in all sorts of places from clubs to conservatoires and got my first taste of session work with Chris Bowden, performing 'Crockers and Killers' on his 'Slightly askew' album for Ninja Tuneback in 2001. After recording for various other artists I released my debut album 'WATCHING SPACE' in 2005 with an indie label 'The Birds'. Since then i've become part of the 'TRU THOUGHTS' family with whom i'm about to release my spankingly new, exciting and ecclectic album 'RAISE THE ROOF', co-written and produced with bass player Riaan Vosloo and 'NOSTALGIA 77's' Ben Lamdin, due for release Sept 22nd 2008. I can mostly be found gigging in dens and dives all over the UK and Europe! I've got a habit of appearing on stage with 'NOSTALGIA 77' (Tru Thoughts) and 'THE HERITAGE ORCHESTRA' (Brownswood) amoungst others. ...a jazzy lassy? a soulful bird? Call it what you like...lets just hope you like it! the end...or maybe its just the start!?! LP x For the official story visit www.lizzyparks.co.uk
