S8: E9: Liz Spencer - From Silence to Stage

SHOW SUMMARY:
"My ability in music kind of made me stand out," reveals singer-songwriter Liz Spencer in this candid conversation about finding her musical identity. From playing melodies by ear on a toy piano at age four to becoming a full-time musician after a decade-long silence, Spencer's journey is both heartbreaking and triumphant.
The New England-based artist shares how cancer and the loss of her best friend silenced her creative voice for ten years until an unexpected connection with actor C. Thomas Howell reignited her passion through acting lessons that transferred to music. "Once the floodgates opened and I was able to write again, I realized that I can't ever not do this," Spencer explains, describing the moment she committed to music despite the fears and perfectionism that had held her back.
Spencer discusses her recent single "Losing Hand," a powerful anthem born from relationship deception, and her duet "Annie" with fellow New England musician Nick Bossy. She reveals the challenges of balancing performing with songwriting, having played over 80 shows last summer while still developing her catalog. Now working on "3000 Miles," a song about the geographical distance between her and her husband before their paths crossed, Spencer continues to push herself toward greater vulnerability in her writing.
What emerges most clearly is Spencer's evolution from concern about external validation to creating authentic music for herself first. "I decided that this is for me and this is what I want to do," she says of her musical rebirth just three years ago. For anyone who's ever set aside a passion only to rediscover it later, Spencer's story serves as powerful inspiration to follow your creative instincts regardless of timing or perfection.
