b'Sweet Lizzy Project, a Cuban rock band who is now based in Nashville. The band was one of the top bands in its native Havana when Raul Malo, front man for The Mavericks, met them in 2017 while filming a PBS show called Havana Time Machine. Raul and his wife Betty, both Cuban Americans, fell in love with the band but could see the glass ceiling for them in their country. They sponsored the band for U.S. work visas, signed them to The Mavericks\\u2019 indie label, Mono Mundo Recordings and moved them to Nashville.

The band leaders are vocalist and lyricist Lisset Diaz, whose unmistakable and expressive voice may bring to mind Kate Bush, Natalie Merchant or Paramore\\u2019s Hayley Williams. Her co-writer and co-band leader Miguel Comas is one of Cuba\\u2019s most respected record producer and rock guitarists. The U.S. debut album Technicolor will be released on 2/21/20 via MonoMundo/Thirty Tigers.

Commentary

I found the answer to my question in a unusual place - a movie called "Hannah Montana The Movie". My question was, who am I? Along the way I lost who I was, what inspired me, what drove me to be the person I am and I had no way of knowing how to get that back. Many people fall into the same situation, especially creative individuals because many of them if not most put their entire selves into their work and along the way they can forget who they are. This can cause serious situations where they lose inspiration, lack focus, and confidence. I explain how that movie gave me the answer I was searching for and even more, how that answer can help you.'
