Liz Conway

Born and raised in the beautiful American town of Boulder, Colorado, Liz Conway fostered her love of music learning the piano and singing in choirs. Later she discovered the complex melodies, harmonies and rhythms that can be found using finger-style guitar and this began to expand the music she was writing. (That and she was really horrible at strumming and didn’t want anyone to hear her, so figured finger picking was way safer! She’s gotten past the strumming issue now.) During her studies at the University of Richmond, Liz discovered the amazing land of Aotearoa, New Zealand, during a semester abroad, and now calls it home. She even managed to pick up a pretty convincing kiwi accent.

Liz has always been interested in recording and in 2008 she recorded <a href="spotify:album:4zOudOEipnCOIEaG7x5P2W" data-name="Between the Lines">Between the Lines</a> at Albany Street Studio, Dunedin. This gave her confidence that sharing her music was something she could do herself. Fast forward 10 years, 2 children, 2 major country moves, Liz found herself engaging again with recording from her home in Alexandra, Central Otago. She joined the online music world with her single <a href="spotify:track:3wmiPXR17a4pWGnULReuae" data-name="Beyond the Moon">Beyond the Moon</a>, capturing the complexities and beauties of her 5-year-old son and <a href="spotify:track:5tzeDBISqFascnGeBmkSlR" data-name="Unicorns">Unicorns</a>, a lullaby written for her daughter.

When not recording, Liz enjoys spending time with her family, teaching lots of musicians of all ages, and enjoying the ability to share music in a way that fits in with all her other hobbies and passions.
