Nagdesisyon si Liza Soberano, 25, na manirahan na sa Los Angeles, California, upang karerin ang kanyang Hollywood dream.
Inihayag ito ni Liza sa YouTube vlog ng Filipino-American beauty brand owner/makeup artist/vlogger na si Patrick Starr.
"Yeah, like, I've never officially announced that I'm moving to L.A.," napangiting saad ni Liza tungkol sa kanyang career move.
Sabay paliwanag niya: "That’s just because it is much easier to build my career if I am out here [in Los Angeles] because they are always, constantly, looking for, like, in-person meetings.
"And it’s just hard to book the job when you’re meeting people over Zoom. They can’t really tell what your personality is like or they can’t really see what you actually look like."
Ang main goal ni Liza: "I really wanna become an actress, a world-class actress."
Pero ine-explore din ni Liza ang kanyang music career.
"So I signed with a music label in the Philippines called Careless and I’m also signed to a music label here in L.A. called Transparent Arts, which is owned by the Far East Movement boys," kuwento pa ni Liza.
"They are really immersing me in the music industry. I have been training a lot here. I’ve been taking vocal lessons, acting."
June 2022 nang pumirma si Liza sa Careless Music, ang record label at talent management company kunsaan president at founder si James Reid.
Kasunod nito ay na-cast si Liza sa American film na Lisa Frankenstein, kunsaan gaganap siyang stepsister ng bidang si Kathryn Newton.

LIZA SOBERANO'S BODY OF WORK
Si Liza ay prized star at homegrown artist ng ABS-CBN sa loob ng higit-kumulang pitong taon.
Opisyal siyang nilunsad sa Star Magic, ang talent management arm ng ABS-CBN, noong March 2013. Co-managed siya ng Star Magic at manager na si Ogie Diaz.
Nakilala si Liza bilang kalahati ng love team na LizQuen o Liza Soberano at Enrique Gil. Ilan sa pinagbidahan nilang teleserye ay Forevermore (2014-2015), Dolce Amore (2016), Bagani (2018), at Make It With You (2020).
Bumida rin sa pelikula ang LizQuen: Just The Way You Are (2015), Everyday I Love You (2015), My Ex and Whys (2017), at Alone/Together (2019).
Noong 2017, napili si Liza ng ABS-CBN na gumanap na Darna matapos mag-back out ni Angel Locsin dahil sa kanyang spine injury.
Kalaunan, noong 2019, nag-back out din si Liza dahil sa sinapit na finger bone fracture habang ginagawa ang teleseryeng Bagani.
ON breaking away from lizquen loveteam
Balik sa panayam ni Liza sa vlog ni Patrick, na umere sa YouTube nitong January 2023, sinabi ni Liza na gusto niyang mag-solo muna sa kanyang career.
"My goal is to become my own person because for so many years, I was in a love team, and that's what I was mainly known for, or, like, I was attached to so many different brands.
"I never was able to build up my own personal branding.
"I feel like this year and the next few years is all about figuring out what I really wanna do with my career and personally finding out what excites me, what fuels my passion."
Ang pagkawala ni Liza sa LizQuen loveteam ay tila walang kaugnayan sa kanila ni Enrique bilang real-life sweethearts.
Matapos ang matagal na panahong walang update sa kanila, nag-post si Enrique ng sweet birthday message para kay Liza noong January 4, 2023.

Binanggit ni Liza na siya ay ipinanganak sa U.S. at tumira sa Bay Area hanggang siya ay 10 years old.
Bukod sa sunny weather sa Los Angeles, excited si Liza sa vibe ng mga tao na handang magtrabaho nang husto para makamit ang pangarap, may "business mindset" at bukas sa collaborations.
