ZIALAND...
is a Norwegian singer songwriter and producer who grew up on Greenland and moved to LA at 19 in search of her musical identity.
ZIALAND has released three albums and collaborated with super producers such as John Fryer (Treasured Lies and Wild Stone) and David Sardy, who brought her onto the 2019 Will Smith movie BRIGHT to sing on the soundtrack.
ZIALAND is acoustic cinematic soul pop, an emotive piano landscape stacked with harmonies and strings and horns with her deeply vulnerable and present vocals weaving in and out of all the musical lushness. The incredible versatility and range of the musicians she brings into the fold is plentiful. From the Australian ARIA winner bassplayer Jonathan Zwartz, to Trumpeter Miroslav Bukovsky and SPELLEMANN music nominated Arve Henriksen and winner of same said award Saxophonist Bendik Brenne, they all add to the excellence of ZIALANDs songs.
ZIALAND has also collaborated with artists such as GRAMMY winner Chris Botti, Norwegian DJ Vibeke Bruff (In The Dark and Deep Sea) and Australian rapper Hyjak on Basiks Song.
ZIALAND has had songs placed on TV shows and in various indie movies like Kill me Later (2001) and The World We Make (2019).
2021 is a year of artistic redefinition for ZIALAND. She is currently exploring her musical identity that will be deviating hard from her 2018 album Unbridled & Ablaze and The Light Below (2014). Her new work will be released in October 2021 under a new moniker .
ZIALAND has been co-writing and collaborating with musician Kristian Dunn from the LA band EL TEN ELEVEN for the last couple of years, and they will be releasing their brand new EP in May 2021 under the name ARGUING WITH HURRICANES on Joyful Noise Records.
