PAU LI LIEM

Bio//

 

She was born in 1997 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and grew up in Eindhoven, where she had a lot of musical possibilities surrounding her. She has been singing and dancing to music ever since she was three years old.

While growing up she has had singing lessons and piano lessons from a young age, she discovered performing on stage in elementary school and has been performing ever since. To share music and the feeling that comes with it, with others is what she loves to do.

Music has always been a common thread throughout her life.

​

She started pursuing her passion in an even more serious manner when she started her study at the Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg, the Netherlands (2017-2021). This was a whole period of new experiences and discovering new artists and new music, where after she graduated in June 2021.

​

Now she has two projects, her trio Nyala with Stef Joosten (bass) and Jorrit Romme (drums) and Penny, a not-so-usual songwriting duo with Wytske Gratama (vocals & guitar), and she recently got a Carte Blanche at the Sound of Europe festival in Breda, where she performed with Harmen Fraanje (piano) and Pascal Vermeer (drums & percussion).

In all these different projects, she composes, sings and in most cases also accompanies herself on the piano.

​

But whether she composes, rehearses, plays or sings, for her it is all about connecting through music with other musicians and the audience. Creating moments together. And she looks forward to creating many more moments together on stage.
