bio
Zaria has been a passionate musician and artist from a young age, teaching herself the guitar, drums, piano, and basic recording/mixing skills as a teenager. Throughout her academic career Zaria explored countless rock and metal catalogs in her free time, while also recording and releasing music as a Hip-Hop and R&B artist. The years of diligence would pay off as the determined young artist would make a worldwide debut via the popular social media app TikTok. In early 2021, a video of Zaria shredding classic Metallica songs went viral and garnered support from Loudwire, Billboard, Guitar Magazine, and even Metallica themselves.
Following the success of her video, Zaria began pushing her rockstar persona releasing everything from Rock and R&B fusion tracks to Pop-Punk and grunge anthems. As Zaria continued to hone in her craft and sound, her self-produced tracks landed on Spotify editorial playlists, Loudwire’s Weekly Wire playlist, and pushed over 100k streams for the year. In addition, Zaria began working with many brands throughout the year including Sully Guitars, Liquid Death, and Woxer. To cap off an amazing year, Zaria was featured in Metallica’s 40th Anniversary shows in San Francisco.
While thankful for her success, Zaria’s drive has pushed her to dig deeper into finding her own unique sound and continue to develop as an artist. To do so, she has recently embarked on a journey across the country to inspire creativity and growth. After the trip’s conclusion, Zaria plans to construct a studio to supercharge her musical output.
Over the past two years, Zaria has grown a fanbase of almost a quarter million followers over all her social media platforms. She is based in Charlotte, North Carolina and works mostly independently and with her partner Cory. With a solid foundation of social media and content creation, as well as her unique musical background, Zaria is sure to be a big standout amongst indie artists.
She obtained much of her success all while completing a four year degree from UNC Chapel Hill. She graduated two semesters early in the summer of 2021 with a degree in media production. She plans to continue using those skills to produce her own visual content on social media and Youtube. Moreover, the young artist is looking to broaden her horizons and take her talents into acting this fall.
