A collection of eleven songs that ring with emotional truth . A unique voice rich in beauty and tone, her lyrically poetic and melodically driven songs will leave you asking for more.
The onset of Lizann’s musical journey is not one that begins with the old adage “ever since she was a little girl, all Lizann wanted to do was sing…” In fact, the whole songwriting process happened to land its hopeful head upon her lap quite by chance.Born and raised in Montreal, Lizann credits her decision for she and her spouse to move back home in 2003, after having spent several years in the U.S, as the catalyst to her songwriting career.
"When 9/11 occurred, our livelihood was somewhat compromised so we decided to pack everything up and come back to our roots. Something interesting happens when you have all your material possessions in storage for over a year, you are living with family, and all you have to remind you of your past is an upright piano. We were basically starting our lives over in every respect. One day my husband sat at the piano and started playing something that called to me in a way I can't describe. That day I found a voice and a passion I didn't know I had. When a new beginning was needed, Divine Intervention came in the form of a song."
Realizing that a singer/songwriter lay dormant within a writer of poems, she has since then immersed herself in the songwriting process and continues to be a student of the Bel Canto technique, perfecting the voice that is an integral part of her unique style. She's had three of her songs featured in the play "Love Pizza"( produced by VLE) and has provided the melody, lyrics and vocals for "The Wild Party"(coming soon to Bravo!), a short animated film by award- winning animator Theodore Ushev. The writing of "Not This Time", a song she used to raise funds for a New Orleans family affected by Hurricane Katrina, is a project that truly reflects Lizann's spirit. Being able to positively make her way into the lives of others through her music is at the forefront of what she believes in.
Lizann’s debut album, "If You Believe", produced by platinum-selling Quebec producer Peter Ranallo, and released under her own label 3DR(headed by she and her husband), marks a collection of eleven songs that represent her initiation into the songwriting world. An artist whose songs ring with emotional truth, her works are melodically driven and lyrically poetic. With a voice simply described as “beautiful”, she reels you in upon first listen.
“This album, in a sense, represents an awakening for me; an introduction to a world which allows me to share my truth through the combination of words and melody. There is an underlying theme of discovery that runs through this album; discovery on an emotional, spiritual and intellectual level. For me, each song has its own special place, identity and meaning. Watching them come to life, listening to them side by side morphing into what has become my ‘first album’, is nothing short of magical. They say that behind every artist lies a story; mine is one wrought with the elements of chance and an ultimate desire to succeed at all odds. I look forward to sharing my musical journey and story with all of you.”
Lizann has been supporting her album in a series of acoustic performances and most recently boasts the honor of having been the first LIVE event for the Apple Store(Carrefour Laval). Stay tuned for upcoming tour dates!

Cancer is the weapon of human destruction and so many people are diagnosed with this on a daily basis. Whether we like it or not we're all affected by this C word because every one of us am sure knows one or more people with some form of it right now or who had it - some lucky people are fortunate to survive it, but many unfortunately don't, sadly. For this reason it's sooo important that money is donated for cancer research so there are better treatments and even cures for the various forms of cancer. Stand Up To Cancer is a great cause that you should add, support and see what you can do to help. Personally, I'm already thinking about doing some sort of personal project to raise money myself so that I can donate to SUTC. I support many causes, but right now this one is close to my heart because recently I lost an old school friend of mine to it.

I recently channeled 'Magdalene's Message on Love' in Glastonbury England. Glastonbury is believed to be one of the places Magdalene traveled with her message of love following her beloved's ascension. Magdalene has chosen this Message to be the unveiling of her message. She is ready to teach the masses and the masses are ready to hear her messages of true unconditional love. Mary has inspired the goal of having 10,000 people listen to this message before 2010. On the first day 106 people listened. Lets keep the movement flowing.
Please take a moment to listen to this powerful message of love from Magdalene and Isis~ Free on the Seeds of Love Podcast
on the left side of my profile page.
If it resonates with your heart send the link onto others.
Please help us in this mission by forwarding the links to as many people as possible.. share them on your networking pages and simply put the intention out that Magdalene's request will be fulfilled and the hearts of the people will open in preparation for her messages. THE TIME IS NOW
I was cruising through Face and Space.....and found you in both those places. I suspect someone who's REALLY fond of you left some Lizann breadcrumbs for others to find.......
I wonder why it is that you and I always manage to find our way "home"? :)
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
I want you to know that I really appreciate your friendship so much!
