Elyzabeth_196.jpg

Daughter of Canadian soprano Nicole Lorange and Spanish sculptor Kieff Grediaga, the singer and creator of Queens of Rock discovers her passion for the stage at a very young age. Indeed, singing, dancing, acting and traveling around the world with her parents is part of her day-to-day life. 

Despite a classical musical influence at home, it will be Elyzabeth's rebellious side that will push her towards exploring a different musical path when she sees Pat Benatar’s first video on MTV during a trip to New York where mother was singing at the Metropolitan Opera. She later discovers that she has this in common with the singer as she, also, had a singer mom.

Pop Rock will definately give her a greater freedom of expression and after playing in a student musical when she was 17, participating in various cover bands at age 18 she starts her quest to conquer the large Quebec bar scene with her own cover band Dizzy Miss Lizzy, singing the best rock & top 40 hits.

In 1992, she reconnects with her spanish roots as spokesperson and performer at the Montreal Spanish and Latin American Festival (Quebec’s Capitole, Montreal’s Place des Arts and Spectrum) and also sings the " NO PASARAN "on the album “THE WINGS OF FIRE” from composer Philippe Leduc, recorded with a symphonic orchestra at the Prague Rudolfinum.

In 1996, she releases her first self-titled album which includes the radio and video hit “TOUCHE PAS”. The video clip depicts strong women that totally assume their femininity without being objectified. That clip remains a significant step in her career and, definately a precursor for Queens of Rock. 

In 2001, she surprises the Quebec musical industry with a trip hop record simply entitled DIAGA, which she will perform exclusively at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2003.

In 2004, she is Mora’s voice in the American animated series “Postcards from Buster”.

In 2005, she joins the Quebec cast of “Dracula; entre l’Amour et la Mort” for a 90 shows tour. She also participates in the percussion extravaganza show “Insolita”.

In 2006, she becomes the Glam Rock Diva of the “Rock Story” musical review. This is where she truly rediscovers her connection with the great ladies of rock from the 70’s and 80’s.

In parallel with her shows, she lends her voice to the Ubisoft video game “Dance on Broadway” and to the Disney movie “Rapunzel”. She also plays the role of Djinninia the sorceress at Folies Bergères in Paris in the musical “Sheherazade”, and she also briefly joins Cavalia in Sydney, Australia.

In 2010, she envisions the creation of her own ONE WOMAN SHOW to pay tribute to the great female icons who revolutionized the world of rock of the last four decades and it is in 2012 that the QoR adventure begins with the collaboration of  two important sponsors Claude de Grandpré of the THC & Mario Gauthier of Media Musique.

 

IN 2013, Queens of Rock comes to life on the stage of The Hector-Charland Theater in L’Assomption, Quebec  in front of a full house. The Canadian promotional video was actually filmed during this premiere.

 

In 2014, after attending one of the shows,  Gilles Beaulieu of Chrysalide Productions becomes the official producer and promoter of the show and already envisions the exportation of Queens of Rock to Las Vegas. 

 

Since its creation, Queens of Rock has been performing on the stages of some of Quebec's most prized venues such as Lac Leamy Casino, the DIX30, The Rialto Theater, the Imperial Bell in Quebec City and also as opening act for CCR rockin' a crowd of 20 000 people. 

 

In 2017 the first step to the Las Vegas stairway is finally within reach when QoR gets the opportunity to perform two showcases at the Club Madrid Showroom of the Sunset Station Casino in Henderson. The VEGAS Version of QoR is led by band leader Yves Frulla who used to play keyboards for Celine Dion for many years and some great Las Vegas local musicians who you have seen with Criss Angel, MJ Live, Raiding the Rock Vault and The World’s Greatest Rock Show. Elyzabeth affectionately calls them her very own Vegas Knights. 

 

The two fiery performances at Club Madrid having caught the attention of the Station Casinos Entertainment Manager, Queens of Rock is hired to return for multiple venues performing at the Green Valley Ranch in front of 1000 new QoR fans, returning to Club Madrid at Sunset Station and the Rocks Lounge at Red Rock in 2018.

​

In december of 2019 her and her manager producer Gilles Beaulieu sign a residency at

​

While Elyzabeth is getting ready to go back to Quebec to perform in Festivals for the summer, the MOSAIC ON THE STRIP abruptly and permanently closes due to electrical problems.
