ABOUT

Liz Dieleman

A self-made one-woman-show, Liz “whatsthedealman” Dieleman is an American-Canadian 360 degree artist: singer-songwriter/producer video editor/blogger, who is van-lifing on Vancouver Island trying to start a cultural revolution she calls #beavercore.

Whatsthedealman is a livestream queen with her looper, magical vocal FX, unique backing tracks, and beguiling banter.
She is a state theatre competition winner, a mom, and a worship leader in Victoria.

With her warm, low Stevie Nicks meets Karen Carpenter vocals, Liz leans into West Coast inspired Laurel Canyon vintage folk-country, splashed with bardic sea shanty, steering listeners into harbours of hope and humour, spiritual wisdom, and timeless fireside story-lyrics; She's here to inspire folks to discover what, in fact, the deal is.

Liz has another moniker, "The Other Mary," through which she releases her faith-based songs, and is half of the psych folk-rock duo, Oak of Moreh, with her husband, Devan. She is the founder of a songwriting collective, Misfit Church, dedicated to providing a fresh set of public domain modern hymns and 70's Jesus Movement-esque tunes for the global church.
