Hi there :)

​

My name is Eliza Hennekens, born in the Netherlands but now living in Switzerland.  I'm a singer and multi-instrumentalist, playing piano, saxophone, flute, guitar and drums.

​

Inspired by my father, who's been working in the professional music business for more than 35 years now, I started playing piano at the age of 5. Later, around the age of 9, I started playing soprano saxophone. At first in the local fanfare, but later on more focusing on Jazz and pop music and adding Alto and Tenor saxophone to my instruments.

​

After secondary school, at the age of 16, I went to the Maastricht Music Academy, combining "Classical & Jazz piano" (Master) and "Composing & Arranging" (Bachelor) studies. Since I did only 2 years, it means that I graduated for piano (Master degree), but not for composing and arranging, which needs an additional 3rd year. Never did I have any real ambitions to become a professional musician, but I've always wanted to understand and make music on a professional level, even if it was only as a hobby.

With this background, I later taught myself how to play guitar, drums and flute and also took some additional singing lessons, to become a more complete musician/singer.

​

As I'm not very keen on having many obligations in life, especially if it's for a hobby, I make music whenever I want and feel like. Some periods more than others, but never in a band or orchestra. 

Through my father, I have done some assignments as a session musician/studio musician for various projects in the past, such as commercial music and movie soundtracks.

However, most of all I prefer to make music on my own and at home, just for fun...

​

Therefore, this website is not intended to be used for any commercial purposes, but it's just a personal website about what I like, what I do and what I use.
