The life of an aspiring singer

Creative Profile: Lizzie Haynes | Joe Maisey

Course: Business & Management | Mathematics

"Singing is a huge passion of mine; it means everything to me when I am on that stage. I’d say I don’t just sing a song, I try to interpret it. Me & Joe have a strong relationship, which is extremely hard to find. We are both very passionate towards music and both want go in the same direction." – Lizzie Haynes

Lizzie won Worthing Idol in 2011, and has performed in a variety of locations and events, with a voice that lends itself to many styles, ranging from musicals, to rock, and everything between and beyond.

Joe Maisey was a guitarist and songwriter in a few bands around Birmingham - including the first unsigned band that put on a headline show at Birmingham’s O2 Academy 2.

The collaborative duet met through a mutual friend at the University of Birmingham in November 2012, and began to start playing at gigs immediately - so far they have performed at various places in Birmingham, as well as places such as Worcestershire and Sussex.

"Music is a unique platform integrated into the lives of every single person I have met, and a platform which can evoke emotions like no other. Everyone has a creative instinct, but most fail to add a creative intelligence, something which I aim to develop during the next few years." – Joe Maisey

The duo is currently putting a band together, which will add to and develop their sound.
