Top Ten With Liz Hill of Starling Glow

Welcome to Top Ten With…, a fun Q&A session where you’ll get to learn all about the music scene’s hottest artists! Today’s featured artist is Liz Hill, frontwoman of pop/rock band Starling Glow. The band recently released their single “Ignite” and are prepping to drop their debut album. Get to know Liz through our exclusive interview!

I’m inspired by:

What is happening in my life or to the people around me. I try to capture a feeling or situation and paint a story out of it with lyrics.

I realized I wanted to play music when:

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a singer… (Technically my earliest ambition was to be a pop star/veterinarian hah, but college biology was way too hard!) I sang to myself all day as a child, and not much has changed.

Four songs you might find on my iPod:

We Looked Like Giants- Death Cab for Cutie

Careful – Paramore

I See Fire – Ed Sheeran

Sky Full of Stars- Coldplay

One word I would use to describe myself:

Reflective

The best part of being a musician is:

Being able to pour your heart and soul into something that has the potential to mean so much to another person. There are so many artists who have enriched my life with their music, and I can only hope to do the same for someone else. Also, getting to sleep in and tour the country is pretty dang rad.

Right now, I’m most excited about:

Shooting the video for and releasing the second single!!! 🙂

Something most people don’t know about me is:

I hate wearing socks… And shoes for that matter. My inner super villain’s name is “The Barefoot Bandit”.

One of my happiest moments was:

My first single “We Are Infinite” climbing to #19 on the Billboard Dance Club Chart. But success is addictive ha, and now I want to push even harder for the second single.

My music is:

Empowering, unapologetic, and fun.

In ten years, I see myself:

Singing my heart out, traveling and performing. And hopefully having a miniature pig as my tour bus pet. Have you seen how adorable they are?! I will name him Sir Winston Oinksalot.
