Welcome to the world of the Lizzie Curious: internationally renowned DJ, singer, songwriter and producer. 'She is the easiest singer/songwriter I have ever worked with. She has a beautiful voice and a great personality and this shows on the songs she does for me'. Robbie Rivera 'For any promoters out there reading this - book this girl NOW, she will rock your club'. K-KLASS "Your voice is beautiful. We fell immediately in love with your vocals of DEPARTURES and it was a pleasure to remix this track!" - Cosmic Gate 'You're an amazing singer Lizzie!!' - David Tort 'Always love Lizzie's work.' - George Acosta 'Heavenly vocals' - DMC BuzzChart. As a DJ, she combines talent, an insatiable appetite for the hottest house music, a never ending source of energy and enthusiasm, plus flawless technical skills; creating consistent floor-filling, crowd-enthusing performances that see her in demand around the world. Alongside the continued success of her very own 'Curiousity Club' events and monthly podcast, 2012 has now seen her secure two new residencies. First up is her residency with global house superbrand Hed Kandi, performing monthly at their stunning flagship bar in her home city of London. And as of June 2012, Lizzie Curious has confirmed a residency with the USA-based DJ powerhouse collective H3LIUM. This will see Lizzie performing stateside more often - kicking off with H3LIUM @ Deity, New York in October! As an in demand singer/songwriter she works with & is remixed by the likes of Robbie Rivera, Cosmic Gate, Stonebridge, David Tort, First State, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Alex Gaudino, Thomas Gold, George Acosta, Andy Duguid, Lazy Rich, Jason Chance & the So Called Scumbags. She has already notched up over 30 releases to her name and receives consistent worldwide support from industry luminaries (Tiesto rates her vocals 5/5 and plays her songs on his global radio show; Judge Jules plays her music on Radio 1) and devoted fans alike. Demand for Lizzie Curious shows both in the UK and internationally continues to rise, with show-stopping gigs in Russia, Bahrain, Miami USA (3 consecutive years at Robbie Rivera's jewel in the Miami WMC crown: Juicy Beach, and Hed Kandi Miami), a bi-annual residency in Grand Cayman (The Caribbean), Houston USA, Greece, Finland, Majorca, Spain, Poland and Lithuania. Not to mention a plethora of gigs in Ibiza (including superclub Amnesia and a residency in 2009 at superclub Privilige playing in the main room for Juicy Ibiza alongside the likes of Robbie Rivera, Stonebridge, Marco V) already under her belt. Equally impressive are Lizzie’s talents as a singer/songerwriter and producer, where in The Curious Studios she produces her own, original material to consistently high acclaim, her versatile voice flawlessly moving from from the spine-tingling angelic through to sexy and dirty as her songs dictate! Her first vocal for Robbie Rivera, Star Quality, became the title track for his 2008 artist album and to date, Lizzie has recorded 8 more vocals for Robbie Rivera, all released on Juicy Music: including My Heart (with Robbie, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike), Meant To Be, The Rain (featured on his 2009 artist album) and the seminal summer house smasher Sax Heaven, which was remixed by Alex Gaudino and Thomas Gold. Departures became the runaway success hit of 2011, with the Cosmic Gate remix being championed by all the heavyweights of the EDM world on their radio shows (Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond and Ferry Corsten) and the Stonebridge & Chris Kaeser remix being chosen for the Godskitchen Electric album. Robbie Rivera says of Lizzie's work ‘She is the easiest singer/songwriter I have ever worked with. She has a beautiful voice and a great personality and this shows on the songs she does for me.’ Lizzie's talent, passion and dedication to the craft of singing and songwriting has seen her become highly sought after for her vocals. Her discography to date, alongside her impressive catalogue with Robbie Rivera on Juicy Music, includes regular releases on Black Hole Recordings, plus Strictly Rhythm, Spinnin' Records, In Charge, BugEyed and Big Fish, regularly charting on beatport and the DMC Buzz Chart. 2012 has already seen releases for Lizzie with Nick Sentience on Spinnin' Records (Freefalling) and Robbie Rivera (It's A Feeling), George Acosta (Like Home) and Andy Duguid (Music Box).

Originally from Houston, dropcap has called Dallas, Texas his home since 1994. As a professionally trained vocal performer in his youth, DJing was a natural evolution to express his love of music and performance with others. Years spent listening to nearly every musical genre helped shape dropcap's unique style behind the decks. He gets dance floors moving by mixing crowd-pleasing tech, progressive and electro house beats with underground gems you might won't hear other DJs play -- and that's just the way he likes it.
