As a singer, songwriter, and performer, Eliza brings a unique blend of elegance and edge to every stage she steps onto. Through her band <em>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<p>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<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Let\u2019s Start with You&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to Sayulita?<\/strong><br>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 &amp; 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<p><strong>What inspired you to start this business here?<\/strong><br>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<p><strong>What\u2019s something most people don\u2019t know about your story or journey?<\/strong><br>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<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
