Liza Melfi
Liza Melfi, is a rising star in music and entertainment. In addition to performing on countless stages in nightclubs, restaurants, and outdoor musical venues in Montréal, Canada, and the United States, she has graced many large theatres including Le Lion D’Or, Saint-Denis, The Spectrum, and The Bell Centre. She has performed at diverse events throughout her career, which continues to grow and blossom. Liza was destined for a career in entertainment, a fact that became apparent early on, when she took home First Prize at the Révélation Challenge, a province wide contest in Quebec that showcased her beautiful singing and unique personality.
Music has always been Liza’s first love, but she has pursued other interests along the way. While obtaining her diploma in Theatre Studies at the prestigious Dawson College, Liza began work as an actress for various television series, feature films, commercials, and music videos, for both Canadian and American releases.
In the midst of the acting work, her desire to produce original songs led Liza to join the vocal group Odyssey Trio, who soon obtained a recording contract with Audiopact Records, and led her to many new opportunities.
Liza was soon asked to participate in a joint project based in France, which involved creating a musical wish-card to celebrate the turning of the millennium. The package included a CD of the millennium song she composed and performed. More than 110 000 copies of the CD were distributed and sold in France—and Liza’s recording career achieved another milestone.
Liza’s musical tastes span Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues, and Gospel music. She takes pride in interpreting each with her own special touch. Her latest project, The Liza Melfi Jazz and Blues Trio, is currently performing her renditions of classic songs from each of these genres of music that have inspired her so deeply.
Liza also performs and tours often with the high-profile Montréal-based musical review show Midnight Sun in Canada and the USA, and internationally with the Peter Shea trio featuring Liza Melfi at the Shangri-la hotelin Hong Kong, among others. Also, she continues with a busy working schedule in the film and television industry, and is involved in many rewarding studio, recording, and writing projects with other artists and producers at home and abroad.Visit her website: www.lizamelfi.com
