Zahna

Zahna's earth-shattering voice is one that refuses to be silenced— no matter the fury of the highs and lows that have been thrown her way.

Zahna spent the time off during the COVID-19 pandemic off the road buckling down to write her strongest songs yet, supported by her husband and collaborator Patrick Madsen.

The vitality of Zahna's music has been forged through professional experience as well as personal resolve. Her musical resume includes an acoustic, worship-focused project called Our Divine Romance that served as a creative outlet through college, followed by time fronting ILIA and bringing songs to the table that would become their high-charting Reborn EP, and ultimately burning up the charts with songs "Underneath" and "Drown" from her 2018 debut solo album. 

Zahna has taken her hard-won experience and turned around to generously invest it in other artists through vocal lessons, cowriting, branding, and artist development. As Zahna navigated the challenges of the pandemic, she came alongside other artists to help them do the same. "I had always had a heart to help anyone I could in this business, since I know how intimidating it is to navigate obstacles and find trustworthy people to work with," she explains.

Her role as a mentor and consultant are just another mark of all the ways Zahna's voice is only getting louder as it becomes increasingly her own. "The reality was I was always capable, and I needed to stop waiting around for someone to tell me I was," Zahna reflects. "When the world is in chaos around you, when your physical body is failing you, when people betray you, you simply have no choice but to take control and find out what you're made of. Whether it was anger, a deep sense of purpose, faith in a higher power, or some wild idea about personal destiny... some survival instincts I never knew I had came to life."
