Lizzy Cruz

Lizzy Cruz is a Peruvian-American artist currently residing in Nashville. Her unique style of pop reflects the many cultural influences in her life from her young childhood in Peru to growing up in Kansas City, and finally coming into her own as an artist in Nashville. Moving to the US at a young age, Cruz was encouraged to follow her passion of music. At 4 years old, she began singing at church with her parents. She talks about becoming a performing artist as a teenager: "I began writing songs at 14, around the same time my dad bought a guitar...which I then stole and took as my own. I fell in love with performing because I loved watching people's reaction to the song and the lyrics especially." Lizzy pulls inspiration from many artists from Shakira to Maggie Rogers.
