At the age of 14, Chris Litz started on his musical journey. Within a few years, he was playing the local music scene in Austin, TX. By 19 he was involved in three different short-lived projects. He felt that something was missing from the music. After two more dead-end projects, it was time for a change. This was a chance to focus on learning, writing, and developing an identity as a guitarist. After a short break, a new heavy dual guitar riffing machine formed. Chris pushed for the music to progressively become heavier, but the band split up after several years due to typical musical indifferences. Next, it was time to experiment with the industrial side of metal which lasted for a year or so. And the familiar feeling of something missing crept in. He then began writing in unexplored territory that would now be classified as new age music. This is where he learned to let go of writing constraints to standard song structure. After several years metal was pouring out into his writing again. And from lessons learned in past projects, this time it would be all about writing without boundaries. In late 2016 Chris had an epiphany to combine his brand of new age music with his passion for metal into a unique blend. Soon afterward Seventh Legend was born.
Liz's passion for musical storytelling has taken her across genres, from intimate indie folk to sweeping film and video game scores. Classically trained on piano and cello, she was inspired by the angelic choir writing of Hans Zimmer and the bombastic rock operas of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Those grand, theatrical productions sparked a lifelong passion for performance. While opera fulfilled that passion for a time, everything changed after hearing Nightwish and Epica during a tour of Italy. Their blend of symphonic metal, orchestra, and powerful vocals revealed the sound she had been searching for.

Liz studied vocal performance at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater and Indiana University Bloomington, building a career defined by versatility. Her work as a vocalist, orchestrator, and songwriter is driven by a cinematic approach, creating music that evokes vivid imagery through layered vocal arrangements, choirs, and orchestral textures.

Now, as the frontwoman of Seventh Legend, Liz brings together her classical training, theatrical stage presence, and passion for symphonic metal. Her commanding vocals, expressive storytelling, and cinematic vision help define the band's powerful and immersive sound.
