LITE BRITE: Lizz*e Baker was born and raised in a suburb just west of Boston, MA but now resides near and attends Brown University in Providence, RI. Lizz*e has consistently shown an interest in the arts and, more specifically, the performing arts, participating in everything from musicals to being the captain of a dance team to being the lead singer of a jazz band and participating in a cappella choruses. While she acted, sung, and danced in high school and college, she was both introduced to the healing power of the performing arts and was learning a great deal about music, its roots, its history, its progress, and its power.
Lizz*e first started "raving" at the age of 18. Before long she had been well introduced to the styles of local Boston DJs and couldn't be kept away from the scene. Lizz*e would travel close to 1000 miles each weekend from Sarah Lawrence College just outside NYC to attend "hometown" New England parties that represented happy hard-core much more frequently than those in New York. So, after thousands of miles, a few breakdowns, a couple speeding tickets, lots of gas, and the same demo tapes playing over and over and over again, Lizz*e became familiar with the scene. She quickly developed a passion for the community and found herself responding to misinformed and biased news articles and television specials on raving. She started clubs, joined the harm reduction movement (in the Boston-based grassroots group, Safe 'N' Sound) and became as involved in the rave community as she could. She consistently felt stuck, though, never feeling that her work was really making a significant difference. Lizz*e finally discovered that the perfect outlet for all of her energy was spinning.
Self-taught, LITE BRITE was first very interested in happy hard-core, and quickly learned that the happy hard-core representation in the US was few and far between but that its supporters were among the most positively receptive of any others in the scene. L. BRIZZA's interest in the notably oppositional genre of 2-step garage grew swiftly as well, and Lizz*e has really enjoyed being able to span across such different crowds. L. BRIZZA has recently expanded to include in her repertoire the genre of drum and bass as well. Lizz*e began working with Never-ending Echo in the summer of 2000 but decided to work on her own mid-January hoping that she might promote herself better. Lizz*e is currently working with Ruffneck Playaz Crew in the Boston/Providence chapter, with Elavibe Productions, with Siren Alliance in DC, with I Eat Crayons, and with the co-op of New England Hard-core. She has played at over 40 events since she began spinning 18 months ago, between clubs, weeklies, parties, benefits, and radio stations. Lizz*e held a dual summer residency in 2001 with Sessions1 Radio and Modulate in Washington, DC and currently holds residencies in both DC and FL.
