History[edit]
Lizza and AlecZero met in a jazz cover band in Kiev, Ukraine, performing jazz standards and cover songs. In a few years Lizza and AlecZero left the band to form Stereolizza.
Influenced by Eminem's The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP, Lizza is trying herself in Hip hop. In 2003 Ukrainian Records, a licensee of Universal Music Group in Ukraine, signs them to a multi-album deal.[8]
In 2005 Ukrainian Records releases Stereolizza's X.Y.Z. – the first single of the X-amine Your Zippa album. The song later became Stereolizza's breakthrough hit on the European market.[9]
In 2006, Stereolizza were offered an opening slot for The Black Eyed Peas' Monkey Business Tour in Palace of Sports, Kiev, Ukraine.
X-amine Your Zippa album, released in Ukraine (2006), Poland (2006), Russia (2007), EU (2006) and UAE (2007).
The European version of the album released by Universal Music Group International (London, UK) also included a cover song to Blondie (band)'s Rapture.[10]
In 2008 the duo moved to Los Angeles and formed their own record label StereoZzilla Music.[11]
While in the U.S.A. Stereolizza continue to work in the style of urban pop with aggressive verses and melodic choruses, but this time adding some elements of house and electronic dance music.
Their single Go Back To Your Mama lead to a new label deal with Magic Records (Poland, a UMG label) in 2013 and was globally licensed to independent dance record labels.
