Lizzie Mayland (born 31 January 1999) is a British musician best known as the rhythm guitarist and vocalist for The Last Dinner Party. Their style is influenced by artists such as Amy Winehouse and Johnny Marr. [1]
Mayland was born on 31 January 1999, and grew up in Yorkshire, near the moors of Mytholmroyd and Hebden. Raised in a Catholic family, they found this upbringing quite isolating, a theme that later influenced their songwriting, particularly in the song "Sinner." [2] Mayland picked up the guitar after being inspired by Amy Winehouse, which coincided with the genesis of The Last Dinner Party. [3] Mayland is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. [4]
Mayland first met bandmates Georgia Davies and Abigail Morris during fresher's week at King’s College London. Although they initially enrolled there, Mayland later transferred to Goldsmiths, University of London, to pursue their passion for music. [5] While at college, they contributed to the formation of the Dinner Party, which later evolved into The Last Dinner Party.
As a guitarist, Mayland draws inspiration from artists like Johnny Marr and Mac DeMarco. "The Killer" is one of their favorite songs to play on stage. [6] Their background in art history also informs their approach. [7]
On 9 May 2025, Mayland released their debut solo EP The Slow Fire of Sleep under the name L.Mayland. [8]
