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.

What other's are saying about zenia's music
“Think Ariana Grande meets Olivia Rodrigo. Superb vocals and very catching. You got yourself a smashing hit”
"This is sublime and the vocals are silky too."
The synthépad atmosphere sets the perfect atmosphere amidst your raw soulful lead vocal peformance and steady drum machine backbone. Mature songwriting on display with a pop centric flair for the mainstream. The mix and master sound great. Props are due"
"[Zenia's] vocal work is rich with soul and depth."
"With her unique songwriting techniques, we are offered a persuasive landscape of rich imagery through the abstract sounds that have us fluttering into an ethereal universe. Zenia Marshall is one of a kind, and she proves it repeatedly through the intoxicating melodies that she brings forth."
"From my Hallmark Channel student to full fledged DIVA!" "Behind you 100%!"
"Vocals are expressive and clearly silvery, flowing well with the soulful melodies of this song."
"The vocal is stunning. I also really enjoyed the melodic structure. " + "I do believe that it will get lots of traction as it's so beautifully written."
"This is a really atmospheric, inspiring pop rock piece. I liked the infectious synth lines here and the inspired lyrics." + "Voice is touching."
"Strong alt-pop about the power of love to create both feelings of happiness and pain. With great emotions in expression and the production that results in nice slow motion pop, you could say and everything is framed in a cinematic expression."
