Lizzie Cates knew there was a bigger calling for her, bigger than her hometown, Reno, Nevada, could fulfill. At the early age of 5 it's completely normal for kids to have vast imaginations and dreams. However, for Cates the idea of crafting her own fairy tales, love stories, and songs came naturally. At 13 years old, she had taught herself how to play guitar. 
 In 2017 Lizzie debuted her first major single, "Strangers”. It was then she knew music was more than a hobby and it was a dream she must chase. Later that year, packing up her entire life, Lizzie jumped on a one way flight and moved across the United States to Nashville to focus on building her dream to be a full time artist. Shortly after arriving, she quickly got to work and began writing with notable writers in both country and pop music and started performing at iconic venues such as The Bluebird Cafe. 
 Having a voice that is often compared to pop icon Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne, Lizze's popularity rapidly gained attention around town. When she plays live, it’s her catchy hooks, bubbly personality and natural ability to bring energy to a room that keeps fans coming back and wanting more. She has had the amazing opportunity to open for Rachel Platten American Authors and Echosmith. 
 Her single “I Like the Way” debuted at #1 on the iTunes country charts in the UK and still to this day is holding strong on their country radio stations. Cates co-wrote the TikTok hit “How Do We Go” with Alexandra Kay.
