Zaida was born into a world of art and music, profoundly influenced by her mother, an exceptional artist, composer, and musician. “I remember sitting on the couch, mesmerized as I watched my mom’s fingers glide gracefully across the piano keys,” Zaida recalls. At just 12 years old, she began learning piano from her mother, sparking a lifelong connection to music. “From then on, my love for music grew—not for playing the piano, but for simply immersing myself in the sounds.”

Inspired by storytellers like Rob Thomas, Pink, and Jewel, Zaida developed her own poetic style. She picked up a used, worn-out classical guitar and started blending her original poetry with simple melodies. The result was her debut album, Train Ride, followed by the EP Little Box of Secrets. Each of her self-produced singles showcases a unique perspective, taking listeners on emotional journeys. From the poignant love and loss of Savannah to the empowering, Grammy-Considered anthem Bulletproof Queen, Zaida’s music reflects the depth of her storytelling and her dynamic vocal range.

Zaida’s latest country-inspired single, Momma Said, is a heartfelt tribute to maternal wisdom and the lessons passed down through generations. With its soulful lyrics and memorable melodies, the track resonates deeply with listeners, reflecting Zaida’s ability to connect through authenticity and emotion.

Other highlights include the deeply emotional Stay, a song about a daughter longing for more time with her late father. Whether exploring heartache, hardship, love, or joy, Zaida’s music invites listeners to travel alongside her.

“Although the journey has been challenging, I’m not ready to stop sharing the world through my eyes,” Zaida says. “My lyrics reflect the many paths my life has taken—through pain, growth, and celebration. I want people to feel what I’ve felt, see what I’ve seen, and understand what I’ve learned. My music is a window to my soul, a way for the world to peek in. It’s not just about hearing the songs; it’s about breathing in the words.”
