When Roland and Lizanne met, they found out pretty quickly what is it they do best together: making music. They formed 'This is lizzard' in 1998 and have never stopped making music since. But for lots of reasons, most of them beyond their control, releasing an album just never happened... until now.
This is lizzard's debut album 'Won't Give Up' is the result of 13 years of never giving up. Literally. Their music is like nothing and everything you've ever heard before - each original track is based on pop with all sorts of their favorite genres thrown in.
This is lizzard makes time to make music, and they make music for mind, body and soul. It was a long time coming, but it's all been worth it, because This is lizzard Won't. Give. Up.

Bio This is lizzard
'This is lizzard' was founded in 1998 by American singer/lyricist Lizanne Hennessey and Dutch musician/composer Roland Stolk.
Lizzard's music is based on pop with all sorts of their favorite genres thrown in; from pop to poetic, rock to reggae, country to celtic.
Liz says: ?'When Roland and I met, we found out pretty quickly what is it we do best together: making music. We formed 'This is lizzard' in 1998 and have never stopped making music since. But for lots of reasons, most of them beyond our control, releasing an album just never happened... until now.
Thirteen years later, we are proud and thrilled to announce the release of our debut album, 'Won't Give Up'. The title says it all. We never did give up, and we won't give up when it comes to fulfilling our dreams and sharing our music with you.
Without you, there would be no point in making an album in the first place. At one point or another, you have given us your support, motivated us and inspired us to make this album happen, and for that, we want to thank you.
Spread the word, tell your friends, and enjoy: it was a long time coming, but we make time to make music, and This is lizzard Won't Give Up.'
A bit about Roland:
Dutch-born musician/composer Roland Stolk graduated with honors from the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music, where he studied piano and vibraphone. He is a multi-instrumentalist and is proficient on piano, keyboard, percussion, drums, vibes and guitar.
During his extensive touring experience throughout the Netherlands with Dutch artists such as Matilda Santing and Julya Lo'ko, Roland began to focus on his studio engineering skills. He now produces albums for local Dutch artists, including the upcoming album 'Won't Give Up', due for release in the Spring of 2011.
A bit about Lizanne:
Lizanne Hennessey was born in America and moved to the Netherlands when she was 15. She is a singer/lyricist by nature, 100% self-taught and writes lyrics in English, her native language. She was active in various cover bands in the south of Holland when she and Roland met, and not long after, formed This is lizzard together. They've been making beautiful music together ever since.
