Liliana Ferreira - Recording Artist

​

Music for the Soul
 

Liliana was born in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Her introduction to performing was at aged 10, when she was invited to sing at a school party, which became a regular occurrence.

 

At aged 18,she wrote and recorded her first song 'You are my angel', although not having any guidance from industry professionals  she had no idea how to release it. Later, a friend signed her up for 3 separate singing competitions in her Hometown, which to her amazement she won.

 

At the age of 21, she became the lead singer of the Portuguese band 'Roconorte' and spent the next 3 years performing Portuguese popular pop and rock songs at venues across the country.

 

She then received a request to join and tour as lead vocalist with the popular 'Pink Floyd' tribute band 'Pink wall' in Tenerife enjoying several seasons. However, Liliana was not content with just performing cover songs and her soul was crying out to sing her own original songs.

She had always dreamed of moving to Paris, and decided to move there in 2013 and within a year she was chosen to participate in (WCOPA) representing France in the 'World Championship of Performing Arts.

 

In 2018 Liliana moved to Rotterdam in the Netherlands where she worked in childcare to support herself. It was a difficult time for her because she could not speak, sing, or understand Dutch, and found it impossible to continue with her music career.

 

It was at this time when She was at her lowest point when Kim Herbert and USA Artist Chesney Claire encouraged her to fight for her dreams and have been very helpful and supportive to her in many ways since.

It was around that time that UK based International Lyricist, Artist manager, & former A&R 'Raymond Fry' whilst scouring Youtube, stumbled across a video of her singing a live improvised vocal to the Pink Floyd song 'Great Gig in the sky' and he promptly got in touch with her to say that he was very impressed with her powerful voice and wide vocal range, adding that he was willing to assist her to progress in her career.

Since meeting Ray, Liliana released her first professional single 'Lonely winter' in August 2021,
Which achieved over 150,000 streams on Spotify and she has since amassed many tens of thousands of followers across social media.

Liliana's second song release 'Love paradise' was written by platinum and Grammy nominated producer Standish Child but she felt that the lyric needed strengthening. She asked Ray if he could take a look at it and Standish gave the OK for her to record the adapted version. The song was released in May 2022 and was very well received by her fans. In fact it was a top 10 finalist in the world songwriting awards for best pop song.

More recently, Ray suggested that it was time that Liliana co-wrote a song with him, and the result was a beautiful pop ballad 'Loving the light' which was released at the end of August 2022 and was a top 10 finalist in the world songwriting awards for best pop song.

 

Liliana's latest song 'Changing faces' released on 23rd June 2023 was written and produced by Raymond Fry, Andreas Jansson, and Liliana who flew to London for Ray to oversee the vocal recording at Camden studios. The vocal files were then sent to Andreas in Sweden for mixing and mastering. Changing faces, was also a top 10 finalist in the world songwriting awards for best pop song. The song has received amazing reviews from 'The Music Asylum',  'Illustrate Magazine', 'Lyric Odyssey', 'TJPL News Magazine', 'Testing Melodies', and is on many Spotify Playlists.

​

More recently, Liliana has been invited to record Film trailers for 'Hunchback Music' and their producers in the Netherlands. She recently travelled to their studio to record 2 trailers, one of which titled 'Raging fire' contains the lyric crafted by Raymond Fry.

Hopefully, with the loyal support of Liliana's fans, she is finally on the path to hery ultimate goal of being signed to a major record label.

Liliana would like to extend a massive thank you to Lady Gaga's ex manager 'Bob Leone' for his expert advice and invaluable insights.
