Lizann Warner<br />

Lizann is a versatile vocalist & vocal “impressionist”, who’s gift for impersonating<br />

famous female recording artists has gained her much notoriety<br />

in the music industry. Her voice can be heard on TV commercials<br />

such as the current<br />

jingle “My Blue Heaven”<br />

for Sandals Resorts<br />

currently airing on all<br />

major networks including<br />

CNN & Fox News.<br />

She can also be heard<br />

on video games such<br />

as Activison’s “Guitar<br />

Hero III”, and Konami’s<br />

game “Rock Revolution”,<br />

impersonating famous<br />

female rock legends on<br />

such tracks as “Barracuda”,<br />

“Hit Me with Your<br />

Best Shot”, “Magic Man”,<br />

“Kiss Me Deadly”, and<br />

“Bad Reputation”.<br />

As a session vocalist, Lizann has recorded countless tracks<br />

for various karaoke companies & advertisers. But on stage is<br />

where she really shines! A vivacious live performer, she has<br />

dazzled audiences in several Las Vegas tribute shows, and<br />

graced countless stages throughout the U.S., wowing crowds<br />

with her personable style & charisma. She’s made Television<br />

appearances too, including a performance of the National<br />

Anthem for “King Of The Cage” on Pay Per View, and a live<br />

performance of “Barracuda” with her Heart tribute band “Dog<br />

‘N’ Butterfly” on the KTLA Morning News! Her impressive repertoire<br />

of vocal impressions include Judy Garland, Ann Wilson<br />

[of Heart], Stevie Nicks, Barbara Streisand, Pat Benatar, Marilyn<br />

Monroe, Nora Jones, Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Celine Dion, &<br />

Sheryl Crow, just to name a few! Not just an impressionist,<br />

her diverse vocal ability & extensive library of material covers<br />

almost every genre including: Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country, Classical,<br />

R&B, and even opera!<br />

A “triple threat”, Lizann has had extensive dance training<br />

under dance master Miles Marsden, & ballroom pro Buddy<br />

Schwimmer [Father & coach of Lacy Schwimmer of “Dancing<br />

With The Stars” fame]. Plus acting experience in both live productions<br />

and film, studying under award winning director and<br />

acting coach Bruce Hickey, who coached many notable actors<br />

including Dennis Franz, Bobby Pastorelli, Joe Mantegna and<br />

Diane Ladd.<br />

And Lizann is a songwriter too! Her latest project called “Eliza”<br />

[derived from her full name “Elizabeth Ann”] is an all-original<br />

music project featuring songs Lizann wrote completely herself.<br />

It’s a total departure from her sound-a-like work, and that is<br />

why she wanted to go by a special name for this special project.<br />

The music is fresh & catchy. An eclectic mix of Electronica<br />

& Pop…and the songs not only feature her voice but also her<br />

own performances on keyboards. Every note & melody created,<br />

performed, & recorded by “Eliza” herself! She is currently<br />

recording her debut album titled “Anything Can Happen” which<br />

she hopes to have completed by the end of 2014. But even<br />

though her album is not yet finished, her songs are already<br />

getting airplay around the globe on numerous radio stations,<br />

including InterFM in Tokyo Japan!<br />
