About Me |
|
| Liz Barak is a 25 year old singer songwriter guitarist.
She lives in Boston and currently a student at Berklee College of Music.
In the passing 2 years she’s been living in Tel Aviv, Israel, recording her album “Pretty Wrap” and released the single “Princess and a Prince” in its Hebrew version to the radio in Israel.
The song hit number one in a few local radio stations.
Apart from doing her music she had a few performances in a TV show singing covers of Israeli singers.
Before those 2 years she lived in London for 2 years.
In London she worked with East West record company, Rollover Production, and a few smaller producers.
She performed a lot and wrote many songs, traveled around England, surfed, fell inlove, had her heart broken, but mainly, like most people on the British island, complained about the whether...
prior to her moving to London, at the age of 18, she traveled in India and Nepal for a year, where she realized music and traveling is her greatest passions, and all she want to be or do.
a lot of the music on the album "pretty wrap" is inspired by that trip and by other trips she had around the world, inspired by the cold British whether and inspired by people. the good kind and the disappointing kind she met along the wayThe album ‘Pretty Wrap’ has been recorded in ‘Anana studios’, Tel Aviv by ‘Big M Productions’.
In the album play Avi Singolda (Guitar), Asher Pedi (Drums) and Barak Iftach (Bass).
And it’s a mix of folk rock and world music
