I am a singer/songwriter that sings with a acoustic guitar accompanist. We perform originals as well as covers in the R&B/Soul/Pop genres. Our repertoire consist of about 3+ hours of material so there is room for flexibility as far as what we play. We are always learning new songs as well so if you have a request within these genres, we'd be happy to learn it. We offer a fun, unique & soulful music backdrop for any event or venue. Please see our set list and visit my website for more information...

My guitarist & I are laid back and slightly goofy but pride ourselves in being very professional. You would see us having fun and enjoying the music! Our demeanor depends mostly on the type of gig we are playing. We do all types of events, so we work well on a larger stage with some crowd interaction, but we are also able to do more intimate type events & venues. We have close to 4 hours of material with a variety of originals & covers in the R&B/Soul/Pop/AC genres so the set list is flexible.
Zanya Laurence, currently residing in the Mile High City, is diligently preparing for the release of her highly anticipated 3rd full-length LP. But this is only the latest chapter in her musical journey. Inspired by R&B/Soul, Jazz & Hip-Hop & melting them down into a fluid sound that is all her own, Zanya has incorporated her creative writing & raw emotion into the lyrics found on her independent releases, “Soul Theory” & “Always”, recorded at her studio, “Soul Spot Music”.
After moving back to Albuquerque from Los Angeles, she was nominated for several New Mexico Music Awards while performing locally & promoting her radio single, “Sunday”, with Howard Rosen Promotions. Before that, she graduated from the Vocal Institute of Technology at the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, CA with training in theory & music business, while performing the area with her band in well-known venues such as the Knitting Factory, as well as cozier venues, like the Bliss Café’.
Born in southern California & raised in New Mexico, her musical evolution encompassed learning to play the classical guitar at her father’s knee. Starting in choir & band during her younger years, she moved on to writing & recording originals, eventually growing into the muse she projects in her work today. Although Laurence is compared to several established artists, her unique writing style & distinct voice can be heard through her passionate expression, phrasing & thoughtful delivery. At the end of the day, Zanya’s sound is truly one of a kind.
Because of the nature of our act as an acoustic duo we don't require anything that we can't provide ourselves. For larger events we do have a PA setup.
