Am I what you are looking for?

Answer: I sing/play covers of modern Pop and Pop Rock songs (post 2000), so if you prefer older songs, or a different genre of music, then you are probably looking in the wrong place. 😥

However, if you are looking to entertain your guests or audiences with an eclectic mix of up to date Pop and Pop Rock music, then I may suit your requirements perfectly! 😃

Feedback: Audience feedback would suggest that my eclectic mix of modern "popular" songs goes down equally well with young families, teens, adults and mixed audiences alike. So, if the musical preferences of your guests or audiences are unknown (which is likely for most events), but you do know that they will enjoy some live music... then this is what I do. 😎

Still interested... then I'm Zara and whilst I'm comparatively young and new to the "live music circuit," I have been actively involved in school shows and public performances since I was eight years old. I work hard to ensure that my performances are of a high standard, and this commitment has recently been rewarded with my first Festival booking (Crownfest - May 2025). Currently, I have a Set List of 1.5 hours of songs (2 hours if I add 'piano only' music).



Note: Being sixteen (as of Aug' 2024), I am aware that my age may cause some concerns. However, I am reliable person and I am accompanied and supported by my parents e.g. they help with bookings, transportation, equipment set-up, health and safety, etc.

During live performances I often use 'backing tracks' to achieve a more expansive and interesting soundscape. These are modified versions of my home studio recorded songs (samples below), which have the lead vocal and the instrument that I have selected to play, removed.

Samples of my recordings: -

Heart Still Beating
(Nathan Dawe and Bebe Rexha)

Too Sweet
(Hozier)

The Loneliest
(Maneskin)

Murder On The Dance Floor
(Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Faded (Piano)
(Alan Walker)

What bookings am I ready for?

General Information: -

Truthfully, although I have already performed solo in front of audiences of up to 200+ people, I am not yet ready to be a high-energy headline act (but I am working towards this!).

I am not a quiet background singer/musician either i.e. I'm not really suited to, or inspired by, performing to audiences that do not expect, or want to be disturbed by, live music.

I would describe my performances as being entertaining and fun for audiences who enjoy listening to live music but do not necessarily want to get up and dance, and for those who still want the ability to socialise without having to compete with an overwhelming wall of noise.

Note: There may be a time when I have the confidence to crank up the Amp's to 11 and drive an audience of party animals into a frenzy... but I am not quite ready for that yet.

Taking all of my previous comments into consideration, this still leaves many types of events that I could be well suited for e.g. private parties and weddings; Hotel, Social Club and Pub entertainment; and a wide variety of different Shows, Fetes and Festivals.

Note: For events and venues that do not already have a PA System, I can bring my own professional grade compact Amp's or PA Speakers
