In a town known for its rhythm and energy, music is at the heart of Sayulita\u2019s spirit\u2014and Eliza Barry<\/a> is helping shape that sound. As a singer, songwriter, and performer, Eliza brings a unique blend of elegance and edge to every stage she steps onto. Through her band La La Liz<\/em> and her growing presence both locally and internationally, she\u2019s creating spaces for connection, celebration, and community through music.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We sat down with Eliza to learn more about her journey, her inspiration, and how Sayulita continues to influence her sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Start with You…<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to Sayulita?<\/strong>
I am a singer\/songwriter with a deep passion for music, which has shaped both my emotional and professional growth. I hold a degree in music, majoring in Jazz & Contemporary Voice, with a minor in Classical Voice. I am drawn to Sayulita\u2019s lively music scene, nature walks, and strong, neighborly community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspired you to start this business here?<\/strong>
Wherever I am, performing is something that grounds me. Starting my band, La La Liz, has created a weekly space for dancing, connection, and a supportive crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s something most people don\u2019t know about your story or journey?<\/strong>
I served tables for many years and only sang in talent competitions or wrote songs behind closed doors. It took a lot to push myself to quit my restaurant jobs and trust the process of pursuing music full time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
