LIZZIE DEANE

With her deeply soulful voice, warm persona and infectious performance style, Lizzie Deane’s voice has been described as a ‘powerful, show-stopping instrument”. A highly and in-demand session vocalist, her many musical influences include Aretha Franklin, James Brown, The Jacksons, Etta James, Stevie Wonder and Otis Reading.

Growing up in the Midlands, Lizzie gained a BA (Hons) Music Degree and Advanced Acting Diploma at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. Following classical training in her school and college years, her musical journey began with choirs and musical theatre, before a spell with various function bands proved to be the catalyst in changing her music career-path. Her voice evolved from a classical soprano into the powerful, soulful instrument she now possesses, enabling her to work with many of the respected artists that have inspired her.

Having performed and toured with many highly-acclaimed artists including Pee Wee Ellis & Fred Wesley (JB Horns), Carleen Anderson, Marcella Detroit, Martha High, Mica Paris, Kim Mazelle and Jocelyn Brown, as well as Boy George, Belinda Carlisle, Howard Jones and Just Jack, Lizzie Deane has a wealth of stage, TV, radio and session experience. She stepped out of the shadows with her fabulous band and released her first solo album to rave performance and album reviews. Whilst retaining a strong individual style of her own, Lizzie has drawn comparisons to Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Lisa Stansfield and Joss Stone. Lizzie put her own stamp on the renowned classics whilst showcasing her own songwriting talent with her original music.
