For almost 15 years Lia has been performing in popular jazz venues across LA, OC and Riverside counties, working both with the area’s younger generation of “jazz lions” and with a host of veteran jazz musicians.  Most notably, Arturo Sandoval, Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, Tony Guerrero, and Crystal Lewis

"Lia Booth is one of the brightest young jazz singers around. She has been mesmerizing audiences around Southern California for the last few years and in the process has became one of the most talked about and appreciated singers among musicians – often a much more cynical audience. Her vocal tone, sense of swing, phrasing and undeniable mastery of harmony and scat singing have made her a force to be reckoned with." - Jerry Mandel, Irvine Barclay Theater

" If Billie Holiday and Anita O’Day decided to raise a child together, her name would be Lia Booth. Lia’s voice is reminiscent of both of those talented songbirds with a bit of Lena Horne and Sarah Vaughn thrown in as the beloved “aunts” of this child..." - Shelly Gallichio, The Syncopated Times
 
"Lia Booth, a fairly recent discovery for me, is not only one of the finest jazz singers based in Southern California but one of the very best on the scene today. She has a beautiful and very appealing voice that at times hints at Anita O’Day in the 1950s and Doris Day, one can hear a consistent smile in her singing, and both her phrasing and her inventive scat-singing are quite swinging." - Scott Yanow, Jazz Historian
