Who is Zahyia?
It is rare to find a performer who combines star potential with a true understanding of her music and medium, then again, this is Zahyia Rolle! Whether singing a classic by the Supremes or exploring the limits of hip-hop, Zahyia Rolle, known as ZZ Rolle by her peers, is a performer who defies labels and defines the world "artist." Rapper, songwriter, actress, dancer, choreographer, producer - Zahyia only recognizes boundaries and limits long enough to cross them. Raised in a home where the arts and music were in the air and blood, she's been stunning national audiences for the past seven years as a show-stopping performer/vocalist where her diverse and wide-ranging talents shine.
Zahyia has toured throughout the East Coast with the "Motown Legends Show" and "Legendary Night of the Stars," indulging her love of old-school soul and R&B. In addition, she has toured as a soloist with the One Human Family Workshop Choir throughout the United States, including the Cellular Arena in Milwaukee, WI.
Currently, Zahyia is a regular soloist for upstate New York’s legendary party band, Nik & The Nice Guys touring throughout North America, including high profile performances such as Superbowl XXXIX pre-game show, and CNN 25th World Conference Show w/ Hall & Oats. You can also catch Zahyia entertaining crowds in the North East with her own creation, a 5-piece powerhouse group, 32 Flavors of Z.
