Artist History Liz Smith grew up in a musical family, with her mother winning various vocal recognitions and her father winning state fair prizes for his barbershop quartet. At age 7 she began studying piano. By age 10 she was singing alto in her church choir. In high school and college she sang soprano and alto constantly in choral, small group and solo settings, although music was not her major. A few years after college she 'found' her tenor range and has been pursuing its development ever since. She has appeared on the CBS television program 'Touched By an Angel,' and has worked on numerous projects as a vocal contractor in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. She has been a member and soloist within numerous choirs, as well as holding various choir management positions. Her intense performing experiences gained from being a member of an a’capella jazz quartet have honed her listening and performing skills, and have aided in the development of an interesting interpretive style. She is currently soloist, choir member and board member of The Mountain Chorale based in Salt Lake City, involved in a regional Music in the Schools program sponsored by The Mountain Chorale and involved in discovery and development of vocalists.

Press Reviews "This is quite a performance. Liz has a lovely husky voice, and sings like she means it. Then in comes the orchestral stuff and the choir...pardon me but, holy cow! Just a huge sound. The production seems flawless to me. The song itself is, to me, a bit lacking in lyrical content. Overall, really lovely music of faith which will find a place in many hearts." - (Audio Review) * * * * * "This is nicely done. Understated lyrics. A Biblical allusion without an explanation of which the lyrics still make sense. A lovely arrangement in a huge yet restrained orchestration. Dramatic choral backup where it helps most. And a beautiful voice, sweet yet powerful. Wonderful!" - (Sound Bytes Music Reviews)
