Ziva
is a singer/songwriter, based in San Francisco, CA. Armed with powerful & versatile vocals, she writes songs using her wide vocal range, inspired by various musical genres.
She can pull off a
Jazz
standard, as well as a
Pop
song or a Broadway musical; be a
Rock
er Chick, or belt out
Funk
y-Style.
But what she loves the most, is to blend all of these into her own unique cocktail and serve it "straight up" - juicy & intoxicating, to anyone who will listen :)
Born
& raised in the tranquil Jezreel Valley, in a small peaceful kibbutz, called Mizra, Ziva began her musical affair playing the Cello, when she was 9. 3 years later she began taking classical voice lessons, while replacing the Cello with the Saxophone, eager to
explore
new sounds. Right about that
time
, she also became a choir girl, singing for the next few years in various well-known choirs in Israel, performing with them across the country and in Europe.
Becoming
increasingly drawn to jazz and R&B music, she soon found herself, in between milking cows, as lead singer in a funk band known as the GROOVATRON. This band became quite
the sensation
in her tranquil valley, gaining her reputation that later on landed her the lead vocal in another local sensation, known as FUNKOTRON.
In between
rocking the two bands, she was called for duty in the IDF, and even though assigned a job in HR, she made her way into becoming the Naval Training Base lead singer, founded
and
musically managed the NTB Entertainment Group.
After completing her military service, she got a scooter and relocated to the majestic Jerusalem, to study vocal jazz in the Jerusalem Music & Dance Academy. She studied with some of Israel’s top-guns, who helped scrape off the classical residues her
voice
accumulated while singing Mozart and Bach back in the days. Nonetheless, she is very thankful for all of her classical training and still listens to plenty of classical music. Among her favorite composers are Debussy, Rachmaninov, Chopin & Liszt.
Her term in the JMDA profoundly improved her singing and songwriting skills, which she decided to take along overseas with her, recently settling in the delightfully inspiring San Francisco, CA, where she now lives & creates, and prepares
for
introducing her
music
to
the world!
