Lizzie Blázquez is an emerging and versatile artist making waves in the music scene. Having been featured on major networks like CNN, Telemundo, HTV, NY1 News, and prominent events including the NY Gay Pride Parade, Lizzie continues to captivate audiences year after year with fresh, innovative music.
Lizzie has developed a knack for always coming out with something new and exciting to entice the music scene. She has been growing her solo career year after year, releasing new music with a twist. From pop to electro, there is no genre she is afraid to experiment with. Her last single, “Four Seasons,” was well received and served as a springboard to new avenues for her music. The video for the project was filmed around Central Park at landmarks such as Belvedere Castle, which houses the Central Park Weather Station, Bow Bridge, The Pond, Turtle Pond, The Ramble, Gapstow Bridge, The Boathouse, Conservatory Garden, and Shakespeare Garden.
She learned to play the guitar at a young age and then began developing lyrics and honing her voice. It was only a matter of time before she would be belting out her songs on stage and via streaming sites. It is good to note that she is a bilingual performer who sings in English and Spanish. Based on her dual-language background, she writes in both English and Spanish and has released her own original songs in English, including a cover of “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan, as well as the Spanish track “Tanto De Nada,” whose music video was featured on CNN, HTV Network, and other outlets. This exposure earned her media attention from stations such as WBON-98.5 FM/La Fiesta, WCWP-88.1 FM, and Old Westbury Web Radio. Of course, she came back with the sensual track “Ouh Baby,” which gave listeners a front seat to her sexy and electric sound.
“I’m always trying new genres. As you can see from my catalogue, I’ve done trap, pop, pop punk, pop rock, EDM, etc. So, it’s always something new that I’m working on. You will see the same eclecticism in my upcoming releases.”
This November, she is set to release a new track titled “Electric Ecstasy,” marking a return to her earlier sound. The genre of the new single leans more toward pop, featuring fast-paced, upbeat drums and bass with fun lyrics. She isn’t entirely sure how to label the genre — perhaps it’s best described simply as an upbeat pop track. This is a style she explored in her early years, and she wanted to return to her musical roots. She co-produced the song with music producer and audio engineer TM, who is very talented and handled the engineering, new arrangements, and recording of live drums and bass for the single. Lizzie has performed at venues ranging from Arlene’s Grocery to The Bitter End, as well as at community street events, beauty pageants, piano bars, and numerous private events.
Lizzie strongly believes in supporting her fellow musician friends whenever she can. She believes support from fans and friends is always crucial. This can be monetary—by buying merchandise, purchasing tickets, tipping, or booking them for paid gigs. If monetary support isn’t possible, you can still help for free by promoting the artist on social media, sharing their content, commenting on their posts, following them on Spotify, or keeping their music on replay. Lizzie also books other musicians for paid gigs and tries to help whenever she can. She says she does this because she is also a musician and wants to set an example. For her, it feels good to help whenever she can. Her new single dropped on November 21 and is OUT NOW available on all major music platforms, including Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, and other streaming services
