Bio

Liviya Compean - Singer, Songwriter, Guitars - Liviya is proving to be one of the most talented and fastest rising artists in Texas. Having grown up in a family of musicians, Liviya credits her talent to her grandfather, Jesse Compean, Sr. (a well known musician and score writer) as well as to her Higher Power. Liviya is never far from her family; her father, Jesse Compean, Jr., plays horns in the band and her brother, Josh Compean, plays drums. With her band, Liviya is able to create a unique style of music that is best described as a combination of hard rock, funk and Latin beat. The growing list of highlights includes an opening gig with six-time Grammy Award winner Jose Feliciano, and two Houston Press Music Award nominations for best Folk/Acoustic Artist and Best Female Vocalist. Liviya was nominated for Musician of the Year, Female Vocalist and Best Acoustic Guitarist in the 1997 Public News Music Poll. In 1998, Liviya was nominated for Best Female Vocalist in the Houston Press Music Awards and Musician of the Year and Best Female Vocalist in the Public News Music Awards. She was once again nominated by the Houston Press in 2004 as Best Female Vocalist.
