Liza Michael is a multi-talented artist with a career spanning across various facets of the entertainment industry.

Her journey began in the realm of DANCE, where she not only performed but also taught and choreographed. Her dance background includes notable appearances on platforms like SWF3 TV (Germany), FR3 TV Alsace, and the Strasbourg Opera House. She shared her Jazz Dance expertise in Municipal Dance Schools such as Schiltigheim, Erstein, and Hoenheim, while creating her own dance company “Profil”, lending her choreography skills to entities like Eurodisney and various events.

In addition to her dance abilities, Liza enriched her journey with SINGING under the guidance of Jean-Marc Pivard in Strasbourg and Richard Cross in Paris. To enhance her musical prowess, she honed her vocal jazz skills with Pascal Pallamidessi, the founder of the Funambule Jazz Club in Strasbourg. , She then earned her “triple threat” label cultivating her ACTING proficiency with Tom Radcliffe and Gary Condes (Meisner Technique - the Actor’s Temple, London), Mrs. Sarah Eigerman (F.A.C.T. Paris), Tim McDonnell (Focus Theatre, Dublin), and Jean Lorrain (Strasbourg).

Liza's singing versatility has been finding its expression from intimate gatherings to larger ensembles like the Glen Miller Memorial Orchestra, the Marc Goldfeder’s Orchestra, the Chance Orchestra, the James Brown Tribute Show

and even the prestigious Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra., while deep creative collaborations with pianist and composer Damien Roche, multi-instrumentalist Marco Agoudetse, and bassist Zizou Sadki led her to the creation of Hot Couture, the first mash-up live band.
