Liz Huang is a Vancouver-based composer and singer-songwriter whose music draws on a rich tapestry of influences, including literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and everyday inspirations. Her compositions have been described as “provoking, poignant, poetic, and heartfelt,” capturing the complexity of human experience. Liz’s lifelong classical training, beginning in her early childhood, has cultivated a deep artistic intuition and a keen sensitivity to the nuances of musical interpretation.

 

Liz holds a Master of Music degree (M.Mus) in Scoring for Film, Television, and Video Games from Berklee College of Music, where she honed her stylistic diversity, refined her conducting skills, and immersed herself in modern production techniques. Berklee’s innovative environment further nurtured her ability to fuse classical tradition with contemporary trends in her musical language.

 

She studied film scoring and orchestration with renowned composers such as Lucio Godoy, Dr. Alfons Conde, Vicente Ortiz Gimeno, Sean McMahon, and Ben Newhouse. Her score for Jane (2022) earned her the Best Music Soundtrack award at the 20th Annual Tabloid Witch Awards.

 

A versatile composer, Liz has collaborated with numerous artists, ensembles, and the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, having many of her works professionally performed and recorded. Notably, she conducted her orchestral piece The Last Battle at the legendary AIR Studios Lyndhurst Hall in London, where it was recorded by Jake Jackson and his world-class production team.

 

As an independent singer-songwriter, Liz debuted her single Monochrome Tune in 2020 during the COVID lockdown. In 2022, she released A Prayer in response to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. Her first EP, Hommage à Byron (2024), is a heartfelt tribute to the classical poet George Gordon Byron (1788–1824).

 

Beyond her work as a creator, Liz is a passionate educator and mentor. She teaches a range of subjects, including composition and pedagogy, and is known for her nurturing approach. Her students often describe her as a “loving mother, sister, and best friend,” with many choosing careers in music and education. As they often say, “The best way to show love and appreciation is to pass it on.”
