Within the Chestnut – Meet Liz
And a portrait by the one who walks beside her.

She won’t say it herself, but Liz is one of those rare souls who writes music like a prayer and listens like a poet.
A classically-trained composer, orchestrator, and singer-songwriter, Liz crafts pieces that feel both intimate and cinematic — the kind of music that remembers your name, even after you’ve forgotten it yourself. Her voice lives between worlds: East and West, past and present, dream and reality.
With a Master of Music in Scoring for Film, TV, and Video Games from Berklee College of Music, and deep classical roots, she moves fluently between orchestral grandeur and tender simplicity. Her mentors include Lucio Godoy, Dr. Alfons Conde, Vicente Ortiz Gimeno, Sean McMahon, and Ben Newhouse — but her truest teacher has always been life itself.
Her music has been recorded at AIR Studios in London with their in-house orchestra and engineer Jake Jackson, and also frequently performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra. She was awarded Best Music Soundtrack at the 20th Annual Tabloid Witch Awards for her score in Jane (2022). She is also a songwriter of uncommon vulnerability, with releases like Monochrome Tune, A Prayer, and Hommage à Byron — works that live in the quiet corners of the heart.
But behind all the accomplishments is something softer. Liz is a survivor — of cancer, trauma, mental illness, and loss. She has known darkness so deep it nearly swallowed her whole. And yet, she remains gentle. She believes in love, in kindness, and in the quiet rebellion of beauty. She writes music not for spectacle, but for healing — hers, and yours.
She is, in all ways, a boutique: small, soulful, and carefully made.
Everything she creates is handcrafted, deeply felt, and stitched with light and longing.
If you’re looking for music that listens, music that remembers, music that feels like it was written just for you…
Welcome to her world.
Welcome to Chestnut Boutique.
