The strikingly flamboyant Lady Rizo joined us in studio for an overall hilarious interview during her time apart of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. While the festival is done and dusted, it’s still worth listening to Rizo’s dulcet tones and trademark wit.
“An anarchist streak still runs through me,” says Lady Rizo, the singer-sophisticate who was once a teenage punk rocker. “I love the idea of claiming something that’s uncool and making it authentic.” To that end, the NYC-based artist has earned a name for herself by transforming nightclub-pop into experiences that are more soulful, more theatrical. A provocateur with an electric wit, Lady Rizo is a vessel for the spirits of Edith Piaf and Freddie Mercury.
Lady Rizo will be releasing Indigo, her second album, on August 18.
The New York Times once referred to Lady Rizo (né Amelia Zirin-Brown) as “a formidable belter who can sustain phrases and notes even when sprawled on her back on a piano and scissoring her legs.” They’re not alone in that enthusiasm.
