As a songwriter, her credits include collaborations on several world-renowned songs including Gloria Estefan's Grammy nominated "Out of Nowhere," as well as songs for the likes of Ricky Martin, Mandy Moore, MSM, Shalim, and Pablo Portillo, to name a few.
In 2005, a young Quin released the single "Make Your Move," featuring one of the pioneers of Latin urban pop music, El General. As an independent artist, the video became popular on HTV & MTV, heavily rotating in over 20 different countries and topping radio charts in Colombia. Soon after, her collaboration with Miami hip hop heavyweight, Garcia,[1] featuring N.O.R.E., the bilingual "Dejalo," hit top 20 on urban Latino radio stations in Miami.
Her obsession with the fashion side of being an entertainer led her to start and run her now popular[2] personal style blog, www.The305abulouS.com (inspired by her hometown, Miami), featuring the photography of longtime friend and collaborator Paloma Dueñas.
Between all other projects, Miss Quin is currently in the studio working on her solo EP, release TBA, as well as co-writing songs with Universal artists A&G on their upcoming debut album. Meantime, Liza is performing around Miami with her band Liza Quin & The Bureau.[3]
