Zanya Laurence,
currently residing
in the Mile High City,
is diligently preparing
for the release of her
highly anticipated
3rd full-length LP.
But this is only the
latest chapter in
her musical
journey. Inspired
by R&B/Soul,
Jazz & Hip-Hop
& melting them down
into a fluid sound
that is all her own,
Zanya has incorporated
her creative writing
& raw emotion into
the lyrics found
on her independent releases,
“Soul Theory” & “Always”,
recorded at her studio, “Soul Spot Music”.
After moving back to Albuquerque from Los Angeles, she was nominated for several New Mexico Music Awards while performing locally & promoting her radio single, “Sunday”, with Howard Rosen Promotions. Before that, she graduated from the Vocal Institute of Technology at the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, CA with training in theory & music business, while performing the area with her band in well-known venues such as the Knitting Factory, as well as cozier venues, like the Bliss Café’.
Born in southern California & raised in New Mexico, her musical evolution encompassed learning to play the classical guitar at her father’s knee. Starting in choir & band during her younger years, she moved on to writing & recording originals, eventually growing into the muse she projects in her work today. Although Laurence is compared to several established artists, her unique writing style & distinct voice can be heard through her passionate expression, phrasing & thoughtful delivery. At the end of the day, Zanya’s sound is truly one of a kind.
