ZENIA MARSHALL

Singer-Songwriter & Actress

EPK

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.

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:

Verse 1

You keep on hoping that maybe

One day you’ll find yourself satisfied

You keep this love for that maybe 

A perfect love is just bout perfect lies

Pre Chorus

Yea it’s not exactly what you want (no but maybe)

It wasn’t meant to be what you want

Chorus

Tell me what’s real 

Cuz babe I don’t know what to feel

You put no limits on heaven and hell 

I give you all to take 

There’s nothing left to save 

You put no limits on heaven and hell

You put no limits on heaven and hell

Verse 2 

You’re keepin open that maybe

You’ll wake up feelin what’s supposed to be right

You breathe shallow, love safely

You’re blindfolded for the rest of your life

Pre Chorus

Cuz you’re not exactly what you want (no but maybe) 

You weren’t meant to be what you want 

Chorus

Tell me what’s real 

Cuz babe I don’t know what to feel

You put no limits on heaven and hell 

I give you all to take 

There’s nothing left to save 

You put no limits on heaven and hell

You put no limits on heaven and hell

Bridge

Here we will find some peace of mind 

Where we’re supposed to be 

But everything hurts to leave 

Chorus

Tell me what’s real 

Cuz babe I don’t know what to feel

You put no limits on heaven and hell 

I give you all to take 

There’s nothing left to save 

You put no limits on heaven and hell

You put no limits on heaven and hell

You put no limits on heaven and hell

You put no limits on heaven and hell

Verse 1

Your heart don't catch fire

Ash left of desire

What's left to aspire

 

You take and leave

Retracted heart from sleeve 

Claiming that this is what you need

 

1st Chorus

It ain't like you anymore

You're so brand new to the core

What are you changing for 

The you I knew

 

It ain’t like you anymore

You’re so brand new to the core

Don’t know who I’m looking for 

You’re not the you I knew

 

Verse 2

Beneath your empty gaze  

Cold clouded mental haze 

I seek out what remains

 

My hand slips through the very 

Thought of you

Just treading through a foreign dust

 

2nd Chorus

It ain't like you anymore

You're so brand new to the core

Not who I’ve waited for 

You’re not the you I knew

 

Bridge

Needless to say 

The you yesterday 

Is the one who stole my heart

But that's okay

I'll match your fire with grace

Here's to a new start

 

The higher the angel falls

The stronger they break out of heaven's walls

Seems your pair of wings you've outgrew

Another world that I've lost you to

 

Last Chorus

No you ain't you anymore

You're so brand new to the core

The one that I've waited for 

Is not the you I knew

 

No you ain't you anymore 

Don't know who I've waited for

But now I'm done looking for

The one I knew

You’re not the you I knew

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.
