Lizette Lizette

1990 Born a stubborn and rebellious child in a conservative Swedish/Peruvian family, people must of seen it coming. Misfit.
2003 Lizette’s alternative career started at thirteen when ze overnight transformed emself from a shy, quiet “fat-girl” to an angry queer punk. After a couple of tough years of accumulated frustration and restraint ze just had to let all hir creativity and opinions out. People were shocked, but the battle was on.
2005 No Doubt, Hole and even Mariah Carey had for many years inspired hir to become a singer, so when ze had the chance to make a choice of senior high school, ze chose a musical education. At the same time ze got into a new wave-band called “Secret Friend” and made a lot of like minded friends amongst the goths and the lbtq-community. A perfect match for Lizette whom was totally obsessed with the 80′s at the time. Lizette blossomed as a person and as an artist, but during graduateing time ze made a huge mistake.
2008 Ze got the stupid idea to apply for the tv-show “Swedish idol”, but they did not get Lizette at all. The tv-show presented ze as an overconfident bitch and it was impossible to hide from all the commercials and all the negative exposure. This experience almost broke Lizette and ze decided to never do music ever again. But after a summer of hard partying and escapism ze got a call that pulled hir right back into music again. Melody Club’s drummer Andy A. had just begun a new project he called “The New Heaven Dieppe” and he wanted Lizette to sing and play the keyboards. This offer was to good the turn down since ze had looked up to Andy as a musician for years. They released one ep and one album during the two years together but after studying music production at SAE Institute, Lizette decided to move on by hir self. The time with Andy had been life changing. He brought hir to life again when ze had given up and introduced hir to somebody that would have a big impact later on in life.
2010 Ze had so many new ideas and had refocused the inspiration from the 80′s to the 90′s.
It took some time to make the new image and sound work, but when ze had polished it ze was spot on and ready.
2012 After a great summer of hosting clubs at F12 and East in Stockholm together with hir clubkid-posse, Lizette headed to London. Inspired by early rave, eurodance and 90′s pop culture ze released hir single “Wheel of fortune” and dubut ep “Raveland” with the British PR-agancy “Quite Great PR”. The release went really well but ze missed hir clubkid-friends back home in Stockholm, so ze moved back home after 8 monthes.
2013 But ze didn’t come home empty handed. One sleepless night in east London Lizette was watching some good old Jenny Jones when ze suddenly came up with the idea to make a music video resembling an 90′s talkshow. Subject: Clubkids. At first it seamed like an impossible project, but after having a dream of it coming true ze go to work.
2014 The single and music video “Freak” was released in June 2014. Starring all of hir clubkid-friends and the Swedish comedian Johan Wahlstöm. At this time the 90′s-thing was growing to be really trendy, something that made Lizette move on to something new and fresh. Back to hir roots. But the transition was hard this time. After have been struggling a long depression Lizette got diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Hir new musical inspiration came from old school ebm and Belgian new beat, but no matter how hard ze tried ze didn’t like what her creations. Luckily Andy A. had introduced hir years earlier to somebody that would now help her make the new sound work, Nicklas Stenemo (Kite, Nicole Sabouné, Melody Club).
After years of not seeing each other they met again at a DAF-gig in Stockholm and slowly (really slow) initiated a relationship.
2017 January 18th Lizette is releaseing hir debut album, co-produced by Nicklas. The album is named ”Queerbody”, just like they named the genre. Stay tuned.
