Artist Spotlight: Meet Lisa Liu
What was the creative process like for this particular album?
I composed all 9 songs on the album. This album was heavily influenced by swimming in the ocean. Once I had the songs composed, I took it to the arrangements to the band so that everyone had a time and place to shine.
How do you feel 'Temperance' represents your artistic identity?
I am a tarot reader, and the Temperance tarot card was popping out for me at the time I composed and recorded the album. I think it was a reflection of me coming into balance with myself after all the change during the height of the pandemic.
Can you talk about any standout tracks on the album and what makes them special to you?
“Rendezvous” was a melody that came to me as I was walking along The Seine in Paris. Along with the idea that the right people, places, things and experiences meet us at the right time, right place.
Can you tell us more about you as an artist?
I am a gender non-conforming, Queer, Chinese Person of Color. I believe in representation and making safe spaces and inclusion for all.
Where do you find inspiration for your songs or musical ideas?
Experiences, people, places, and ideas.
