The singer, songwriter, and aerial artist Liza Lynx shares how music became her heartbeat and where her journey is headed next.
Today we have the pleasure to have Liza on Goathead
GHR: Hi Liza, great to have you here What inspired you to start writing music?
Liza: Honestly? I’ve been a show-maker since I was six — directing classmates like a tiny producer in glitter sneakers. Later, moving into circus and aerial arts, I realized music was the missing piece. It’s the heartbeat under everything I do. One night after rehearsal, I sat at a piano, wrote a few lines, and felt this electric “click.” Ever since, writing songs has been my way of capturing a moment the way a painter catches light on canvas.
GHR: Tell us more about your experience performing live at gigs. What’s been your most memorable experience?
Liza: Performing live is like plugging myself into a power outlet made of human energy. I’ve sung jazz under chandeliers, dangled from silks at bat mitzvahs, and belted songs in Central Park with nothing but a Bose speaker and a donation box. The most unforgettable? Singing for my animal-shelter fundraiser in the park. A little girl handed me a crumpled five-dollar bill and whispered, “It’s for the puppies.” I almost cried mid-song. That’s when I knew this was bigger than me.
GHR: How do you usually write your songs?
Liza: My process is like building a neon circus cake: layer by layer, color by color. Sometimes it starts with a lyric in my Notes app at 2 AM, sometimes it’s a beat my producer sends me. I ask myself, “How would this feel if I were on stage, in heels, under a spotlight?” From there, the melody becomes the hook, then I sculpt harmonies, textures, and movement until it feels like an atmosphere, not just a song.
GHR: What motivates you to create music and bring awareness to different situations through your songs?
Liza: For me, music is a stage where empathy can do a cartwheel. If a three-minute song can make someone dance, cry, or take action — that’s power. That’s magic. I use my songs to show people a different angle of a story: mental health, animals, freedom, love, even quiet rebellion. And truthfully, I create because I can’t not create. It’s oxygen.
GHR: Could you share some insights into your next projects?
Liza: Imagine a nightclub in the 1950s colliding with a futuristic neon carnival — that’s where I’m headed. I’m producing new tracks that mix cinematic jazz vocals with electronic beats. I’m also designing a show that fuses aerial performance, glow-in-the-dark visuals, and live singing — basically a full immersive experience. Plus, more park sessions and charity concerts are on the way. My performances are a love letter to the city and the causes I care about.
