Singer, songwriter, piano player, DJ, and a college student, Zita has been influenced by a number of musical genres, some which have contributed to her own material. Originally from South Carolina, at the age of five, Zita began playing the violin, then moved to the piano at the age of twelve. Within a couple of years, she was writing her own compositions and lyrics.
In 1998, at the age of eighteen, she attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where she was able to utilize her talent in the studio and voice by obtaining a certificate of completion for the five-week summer program. She later attended Portland Community College in Portland, Oregon and completed the Professional Music Program in 2003 fulfilling her interest in the Music Industry. There, she was able to work in the studio and continue to learn about the theoretical studies of music. She then interned with Compass Records and Sony Music in Nashville, TN.
Though her style of composition has mainly been influenced by Rock, Blues and Jazz, she has always had a deep respect for electronic music. From the grooves of house, to the fractured beats of breaks, to the bangin' rhythms of drum and bass, she has an understanding for all of it. "Every type of music has its own purpose in my life. I cant exclude any of it and have respect for all of it!"
Zita is known for being interested in more than the scene, the clubs, and the flare of electronic music. She loves the music itself. She is a true listener of every underlining beat and note that is played. This contributes to her talents as a vocalist and a dj.
Zita has been playing electro tech breaks, tech and electro house and sings over her sets utilizing all of her talents in one sitting. She has played at numerous clubs in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, and just recently became a resident of Big Johnson Entertainment in Denver, Colorado. She also played at the Art Bar in Columbia, South Carolina in 2004 as the first female DJ to ever step behind the decks in the venue's history. She has played along side Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes, Joey Mazzola, Eva, DJ Rap, Max Graham, DJ Heather, Greenvelvet, Starkillers, and Baby Anne.

Zita is known for her open hearted lyrics her bangin' sets, and the ability to really reach the people who she performs for. With a voice that is Janis Joplin meets Ella Fitzgerald meets Alicia Keys meets Pat Benetar, she performs like a rockstar. She has a personal connection to the audience and puts herself out there. If you have the chance to catch her bust it out on the mic and on the turntables, then prepare to be hit hard by her talent!

My Interests

Music, the industry and all it's dark corners, writing music, damn good musicians, spinning records, vocals, shakin' it and groovin' it, and people who don't f$*k around or flake out! Traveling, too!

I'd like to meet:


People who are REAL, and don't front like they know it all! People who are priceless are those who take on laughter and being a f-in' dork as a part time job and staying real and knowing what they want in life as the other part timer.And by the way: my top friends are in NO specific order, so quit yer bitchin'!

Music:

Give me pretty much anything 'cept top 40, but even that serves its purpose once in a while!

Movies:

Yeah, so I hate picking these kind of things, but "The Godfather", "Office Space", "Trainspotting", "Requiem for a Dream". and others that i'll remember in a few........

Television:

I'm a total CSI addict. And Nip Tuck. And LOVE the L Word! Then there's Will and Grace, Emergency Vets and all of Animal Planet in general, The Family Guy, and don't forget the Simpsons. I'm also becoming a bit of a homebody so TLC is getting interesting..........

Books:

I must confess that I haven't read too much lately, but some of my all time favorites have been Farenheight 451, 1984, Operating Instructions, The Red Tent, Egaliah's Daughters,and yup - Harry Potter.

Heroes:

Definitely a lot of the women that have been in my life who have shown me strength, compassion, and loyalty since cool ladies are hard to come by. I will also not forget the men in my life who have shown me kindness, friendship, partnership, honesty, and what its like to be part of a family. And to add on, everyone who has shown me support through all of my querky ideas and creativity.
