Liza further explored Pop with her third album Puteri Jelmaan (1999), which solidified her critical and commercial success.
Personal struggles influenced Liza's trap-infused fourth and fifth albums, Istimewa (2000) and Isyarat Jiwa (2001). The former won the silver award in the Shanghai Asian Music Festival (2000) with her performance of the song "Andainya Aku Bersuara",[7] [8] [9] [10] while the latter she was nominated for Best Pop Album and Best Vocal Performance In An Album (Female) at the 8th Music Industry Awards (2001), she also recorded an English-language song titled "Best of You".

Liza Hanim was born on 19 November 1979, in Klang, Selangor. She is the third child of three siblings to Abdul Halim and Badariah Hanum. Liza comes from a family of music lovers. Her grandfather, Abdul Razak was a violinist and had his own band, while her father was a guitarist and band singer. Her uncle, Anuar Razak is a singer from the band The Revolvers.
During her childhood, she was involved in various school and extracurricular activities. Liza received her early education at Sekolah Kebangsaan (1) Simpang Lima, Klang, Selangor. Starting at that moment, she began to highlight her singing talent by participating in various singing competitions at the school level. She then got secondary education at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang, Selangor.
She appeared in P. Ramlee The Musical as "Saloma."[11] In 2017, she competed in the fourth season Gegar Vaganza, a reality competition aimed to seasoned singers.[12]
In 2021, she appeared at the Astro 25 Concert.[13] She was a judge at All Together Now Malaysia.[14] [15]
In April 2020, Liza held a "Sing For Fund" charity program to help those affected by the Covid-19 epidemic and MCO through her company, "LH Media" in collaboration with "Live Frame". The program has seen eleven popular singers from the country join together to help those affected by the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. Those consisting of Aishah, Siti Nordiana, Ernie Zakri, Syamel, Haiza, Idayu, Lan Solo, Han Byul, Kai and Dini. [16]
By watching the show on www.liveframe.my, those who watch can channel donations and be entertained with the condition of donating RM5. [17] RM5 is the minimum amount, but you can contribute more than that. Depends on ability. According to Liza, the proceeds of the donations will be distributed to certain groups. They also work with charities in channeling these funds. However, the specialization for the groups affected during Covid-19, MCO and affected incomes also includes tradespeople and the poor.
Liza also shared that the involvement of all artists is without payment or consolation. Each singer has to record their own performance at home by singing two songs. Liza is very grateful to all the artist friends involved for being willing to cooperate and help without any payment or token. [18]
Liza said, "This initiative came about when me, my husband and a friend at Live Frame chatted on the Zoom application. We thought of what things could be done to help the needy during this MCO. We want to donate a large amount of money and we are not able to do that. So I'm trying to use the advantages that I have by holding a program. Since I can't do anything now, even after the MCO, I can't do a concert or a big meeting. So we created a special website".
In 2001, for the first time Liza established her own hair salon business which has been operating in Plaza Alam Sentral, Shah Alam, Selangor.
In January 2006, she established a company, "LH Media Sdn. Bhd." which acts as the production of events such as "Corporate Launch, Corporate Carnival, Brand Activation, Family Day, Concert, Annual Dinner, Festive Celebration, Mega Event" and many more involving large-scale events. The establishment of this company was led by Liza with her husband, Mohd Shahrin.
In July 2020, Liza launched a "HANIM" branded product. "Scent Of Hope", is a fragrance product distributed by HANIM on December 25, 2020. The original line features four different fragrances namely Joy, Peace, Hero & Love. In March 2021, "HANIM" marketed their third product which is a hijab product. In the beginning, "HANIM" has released six collections of hijabs with different colors. The hijab product has two versions, a pom pom and a scarf. In October 2022, "HANIM" once again appeared by launching two products at once, it is a product in the form of a fragrance. The first product is the "Room Spray" fragrance then the second product is the "candle".
After a long relationship, Liza and her fiance at the time, Mohd Shahrin Mohd Samsudin who is a member of Malaysian boy band, Indigo have announced that their wedding will be held on 21 March 2003. [19] Their marriage has received a positive response from the fans of both couples.
