Born in Grangemouth, Scotland UK on August 29th 1963, liz is the vocalist and lyricist in Cocteau Twins, and co-founded the group in her hometown in 1981 with her long-time companion Robin Guthrie and their friend Will Heggie. At the time, she was all of 17 years-old, and had never really thought of herself as a singer. Robin and Will noticed her dancing at a club one night, and asked her to join their band.
Her unique vocal stylings and mysterious, indecipherable lyrics have generated much debate over the years, but she has often been taciturn on the matter when asked about it.
