LISKA

With Briggite Bardot hair, psychic abilities, and enough broken hearts to inspire an entire discography, Chicago’s-own Liska has all the makings of a “pop girly,” the Gen-Z-originated internet term of endearment reserved for the most iconic of icons. Liska's sound blends her resolute confidence with sheer magnetism and electrifying musical experiments that hit the mark in their addictive verses and honey-dipped choruses.
