Lia Ices, pianist and singer, grew up in Connecticut. Since the age of 5, when she first started playing piano, Lia has been defining and refining her creative voice and it's outlet. While at NYU's Tisch School in the Experimental Theatre Wing, she was inspired to turn her stagecraft inward. She was encouraged to use her voice as a vehicle for emotion and as a source of expression, and to release a bit from all the classical training. Lia's re-connection with her inner and outer voice -- matched with her long love of prose, literature, and letter writing -- launched her into songwriting. NECIMA marks Lia's first full length album.
