The Artist

Elizabeth Sawyer (known by the stage name Lizzy Sawyer) is an acoustic singer/songwriter hailing from Norwich, UK. An artsit with plenty of written material already, she has appeared on local radio stations preforming and has even featured with BBC Introducing.

When performing live, Lizzy tends to only have a setup featuring an acoustic guitar and vocal and occasionally features her boyfriend who adds an extra guitar. After discussing what avenues we could possibly take we decided that an overlay of extra instruments would be a beneficial feature to her recordings even though it does not feature in her live set up.

Lizzy is available on social media and has over 400 likes on her Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/lizzysawyer/?fref=ts) we could be seen as a good promotion strategy for her material.

The first thing we did was look into her influences and artists in particular who she enjoys listening to to get an idea of what sound she was going for.

We sat down with her, discussed and made a playlist in which she chose particular artists and songs in which she takes influence from and to give us an idea of what category she would like her music to fall in.
