Full ARTIST BIO
Zenia Marshall is an emerging Canadian independent alternative-pop singer-songwriter and a professional film/tv actress known for her works as one of the leads of the “Date My Dad” TV series alongside “7th Heaven’s” Barry Watson & Hollywood legend Raquel Welch, the movie “Summer of Dreams” supporting lead to and singing alongside 80s pop princess, Debbie Gibson, and as a recurring guest star on CW’s Supernatural. Zenia has also guest starred on “Supernatural”, SYFY’s “Van Helsing”, and cameo-ed on CW’s “Supergirl” to name a few. Although new as an original artist to the world of recording, Zenia is a stage vet having sung and toured worldwide in her mom’s internationally acclaimed Tina Turner Tribute show since the age of 13 and has since headlined in numerous musical runs, cover bands, theatre act shows, and as an Ariana Grande tribute artist herself. Having written a plethora of music over the last 10 years, with much love & care, she’s working to get each song delivered to your ears – having already released her first single “Ain’t Like You” and currently releasing her new upcoming single “Heaven and Hell” on Feb 12/2021. Just like in her acting, she approaches each song as a different character, style, genre, and story composed of deeply vulnerable introspective thoughts & emotions. She co-produces each song to explore a lush dreamy landscape of silky vocals, guitars, and synths creating an abstract blend of slightly unconventional dark tinged alternative indie pop. Her dream is to connect with one person out there through her songs and impact them in a way to help make them feel less alone and to feel seen, safe, loved, and empowered. Apart from the art she loves to create, Zenia has many causes close to her heart and advocates for human trafficking survivors as a TV show host corespondent on the TV series “Simply The Best” on SHAW Multicultural Channel and works to support foundations dedicated to caring for human trafficking victims and children.DIscography (Original Music)

Heaven and Hell
“Heaven and Hell” is a vulnerable song about a consuming love that holds the power to bring the best of love and worst of pain into one’s life – consisting of heavenly haunted vocals, echoing lush beats, swirling pads, twisting ambient strings, and power rock ballad influenced guitars – creating an abstract cinematic ethereal blend of experimental dark tinged alternative indie pop.Ain’t Like You
Zenia Marshall’s first single, “Ain’t Like You”, is a blend of chill tropical house, dreamy guitar, and deep sweet vocals singing words of heartbreak. Ain’t Like You is written by Zenia and her lyrics capture the story and realization of no longer recognizing the person you once loved.Read Along to the Lyrics Here:

Ariana Grande Tribute
Musician, singer, songwriter, dancer and actress, Zenia Marshall, pays tribute to the Pop Princess of the decade “Ariana Grande”. From a young age she could hear people on the street and in malls whisper “is that Ariana?” – many tapping on her shoulder to meet her and take pictures. Even through singing in musical theatre productions, cover bands, and headlining her own music both live and in the studio, audiences and studio professionals compliment her on how they can’t help but think of Ariana’s voice when she sings. From theatre critics, film industry professionals, and session producers/vocal engineers to new friends and all kinds of strangers, she’s been constantly reminded of the vocal and physical resemblance to the pop icon.
Prompted to perform as Ariana by the Vancouver AIDS Fundraiser, after seeing the impact it could make and the kids that were made so happy to see her, she decided to finally do a dedicated tribute to Ariana in 2019 and has been doing it since. Zenia can do both live solo shows or with a full band.
