Zanya Laurence

Zanya's sweet, yet moving sound showcases her early influences of urban R&B, and jazzy Soul. Born in Southern California and raised in New Mexico, Zanya began performing at the age of six. From dance to choir, she was clearly a natural. Before honing her songwriting and performance skills, her musical evolution encompassed learning to play the classical guitar at her fathers knee. Influenced and inspired by genres such as R&B, Hip-Hop, Funk, Blues and Jazz, Zanya has incorporated her creative writing and raw emotion into the lyrics found on her just released, independent debut, "Soul Theory", recorded at her privately owned studio, "Soul Spot Music". * She's had 2 songs nominated in the New Mexico Music Awards in 2004 and 2 more that were nominated in the R&B category in 2007.
