of their souls and remnants of their hearts.

"Zeia"
Zeia attributes her vocal gift to God as well as her musical family roots. The classic vocals of Anita Baker, Patti Labelle, Teena Marie, Syleena Johnson and Mary J. Blige along with the sounds of old school R&B, smooth jazz, funk, gospel and blues all played an integral part in influencing her career as a vocalist. Her credits include hosting a teen talk show in junior high school; being a member of Crenshaw High School Elite Choir, studying and touring France and Jamaica with the choir under the direction and guidance of Iris Stevenson and lead vocalist for her band, Nsession Featuring Zeia.
She sings background for international Neo-soul artist Lina Loi, has performed with legendary hip hop group, The World Class Wrecking Crew, and was an opening act for the R&B group Loose Ends. She was also the the opening act for Syleena Johnson for Ladies Night Out, happening at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Theater.
She's currently working on her EP with music produced by some of music’s legends in the game. She continues to book private parties and various club events around L. A. and its surrounding counties. Her dream is to sing the National Anthem in the new SoFi football stadium recently built in her home city of Inglewood.
So come on thru and help us Po-et On!
