Lizzie Marvelly

Lizzie Marvelly

Rotorua's Lizzie Marvelly is "living the dream".

The 25-year-old classical crossover-turned pop singer has released her first EP as a singer-songwriter, called Collisions, and is preparing to share it with her fans in Rotorua at the Civic Theatre next week.

Marvelly said she was thrilled to release the EP, which she had been working on for the last two years.

"I'm hugely excited to release my first self-penned EP. It's been an amazing journey of collaboration and experimentation and it's fantastic to see it all come together."

Marvelly said it was an incredible experience being able to write her own music, something she had wanted to do since she was a teenager.

"I'm just loving it. Being able to write and sing my own music, I'm living the dream."

Marvelly said she drew on experiences as inspiration for her EP, which included relationship break-ups, finding herself and travelling overseas.

"The EP is really a reflection of where I was at during those two years."

Girl power

Some of the songs, such as Generation Young and My Own Hero, had messages of empowerment and "girl power", while others such as Glory Days hinted at the darker moments of her adventure to find her sound and herself.

Marvelly said she was blown away by the feedback she'd had about her songs so far and couldn't wait to release her third music video in the next few weeks.

While the singer admitted working on the album was "full on", she was looking forward to producing another.

"I'm already dreaming of heading back into the studio again, for me this EP is just the beginning."

Next Wednesday Marvelly will showcase her new EP, as well as other songs, at the Civic Theatre from 6pm.

"I've had so much support from Rotorua, it's my home and I want to share my music with the city," she said.

It was important to foster and encourage young talent, so 300 Rotorua music students from intermediate age and up could go and watch free.

Marvelly will be available to sign her new EP, available for sale on the night, after the show.

Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster for $25.
