Lizzy d. smith
Lizzy D Smith is a singer-songwriter with deep roots in folk, country, soul, and rhythm & blues—music that wears its gritty heart on its sleeve. With over 14 years of experience as an award-winning cabaret performer, Lizzy brings sharp storytelling instincts to every performance—effortlessly blending musical craftsmanship with a rare kind of connection that makes every room feel like home.
Armed with her guitar, foot percussion, and a voice that can hush a room or raise the rafters, Lizzy’s original songs are rich in atmosphere, melody, and old world charm. Whether it’s through a soul-soaked serenade or quiet, reflective ballad, Lizzy’s sound is unmistakably her own, and so is the experience of hearing her live. She’s relatable, magnetic, and utterly herself.
Equal parts storyteller and showgirl, Lizzy D Smith’s extensive cabaret career, under the pseudonym, Miss Friby, shine through in subtle ways, the detail in her costumes, confidence in her stagecraft and seamless ways she threads wry humour and story into song.
Lizzy D Smith has worked/toured with Rapkskallion, Woohoo Revue, Underscore Orchestra (USA), Candy Royalle, Bonnie Love and Slamboree Soundsystem (UK) and leads the all singing/dancing rythm and blues revue, Miss Friby & The Femmes.
