Elizabeth Pavel, a 13-year-old singer, songwriter, and creative high-school student from The Westminster School at Rowley Learning Campus in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, England.
I’m autistic, and music is how I turn feelings, sounds, and ideas into stories you can hear.

Ironstarlight’s Attic is my main project—a name shared by two connected worlds.
One is a garage-based band, loud and spontaneous, built on raw teenage energy and distorted riffs.
The other is a school-based collective, where we explore cinematic moods, layered textures, and emotional storytelling.
Both sides reflect the same heart: fearless creativity, experimentation, and honesty.

My journey so far:

Early Garage Phase: fast, fiery songs full of self-doubt and rebellion—music that helped me shout instead of hide.

School Band Phase: longer, more complex tracks with shifting time signatures, spectral keyboards, and storytelling inspired by memory, change, and hope.

Recent Work: quieter, reflective ballads where guitars shimmer like ghosts and lyrics explore healing and growth.

The name Ironstarlight’s Attic means a lot to me:
Iron for strength and resilience.
Starlight for the flashes of beauty that appear in dark moments.
Attic for the quiet space where memories and forgotten dreams wait to be rediscovered.

I’m also the manager of Chakhoz, a virtual South Korean girl group built around the idea of “future-past memories.”
Through Chakhoz I experiment with storytelling, digital art, and global collaboration—mixing music, character design, and imagination in new ways.

My biggest inspirations are Radiohead and Linkin Park—artists who proved that emotion, experimentation, and honesty can live together inside powerful songs.
I want Ironstarlight’s Attic to carry that spirit forward: turning pain into beauty, questions into melodies, and hope into sound.

Every song I write is a way to understand the world a little more clearly.
Every project—whether on stage, in the studio, or in the digital world of Chakhoz—is a chance to show that creativity has no single shape.
Ironstarlight’s Attic is my attic of sound: a place for memories, ghosts, dreams, and light.
