Zaya Solange provides listeners with self-produced dreamy soundscape, fuelled by her unfiltered and emotional lyricism. Some of her most cherished ideas have come to her in slumber. Music is embedded in the New York native’s DNA. She delivered her first (unofficial) performance during her birthday party. She was only 1 years old and the crowd loved it. Her mother has photographic proof. This is the same woman who introduced Zaya to a wide array of artists throughout her formative years, ranging from Prince & Patti Labelle, to Queen and 2Pac.

“She would break to the beat with her car, to mimic the motion of hydraulics,” says Solange, associating Missy Elliott with the bootleg stunting. Solange’s voice bares the potential to transcend upon an array of different audiences. Fans can look forward to music and touring from the young talent throughout 2021.

Zaya Solange is known as an unapologetic R&B singer based in Montreal. Her love for performance was fuelled by her run as the front-woman of funk/soul band, sharing the stage with international acts like Jarabe de Palo and Kaytranada. They were welcomed to play Festival International de Jazz de Montreal and Pop Montreal by 2015 and also filled venues with productions of their own creation, such as two volumes of the Montreal Funk & Soul Festival. 

After several years of exploring stages and studios as part of a six to ten-piece band, Zaya Solange was officially introduced as a solo artist to Quebec on TVA’s fifth season of La Voix. The transcendent quality of her voice spun all four judges around in fascination during her blind audition. The songstress embraced the wonders of television production including performances on live television alongside ZAZ, Les Soeurs Boulay, her coach Pierre Lapointe and more.

Solange’s connection to Quebec’s artistic scene has deeper roots. Her maternal family’s contributions to Montreal’s culture include Le Perchoir d’Haiti, a cafe that became a hub for artists and their performances in the 60s, as well as Tam Tams on Mont-Royal, an ongoing weekly tradition that was initiated by her great-uncle’s group during the same era. Zaya strives to carry on this legacy with her own flair. 

Her self-produced debut EP is set for release in 2021.
