Los Angeles-based artist Zaida (zay-duh) knows that life is better lived that imagined. That’s why, at 19, she is forging her way into the music industry without a plan B. 
 Fresh out of high school, she hit the ground running with a self-released EP Pen.Paper.Poetry, and a self-produced video for the lead single “WYA.” Leading with her lethal instincts for melody and rhythm, she proves that she is ready to make art that is meaningful to fans as well as to herself. Music is her tool for self-expression, where she may unload frustrations and disappointment with unsatisfying lovers, lazy collaborators, or the or the exhausting politics of a day job. 
 Zaida plans to push herself beyond expectations of both genre and subject. Her inquisitive mind always has new ideas to explore and her industrious nature keeps her looking for opportunities to make them a reality. With a unique blend of modern rap and 90’s R&B. 
 Safe to say, ZAIDA is the new Queen of LA.
