SUNSHINE PRESS RELEASE
“Sunshine” Featuring MC Anon is the latest single from international award winning Australian songwriter / producer Zia.
Hailing from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Zia has spent the majority of her career as a touring bass player with several high profile artists but it’s songwriting and producing her distinctive style of dance pop that brings together all the pieces of the Zia puzzle.
Zia’s debut single “Underground” peaked at #29 in the ARIA Club Charts and was featured at the Young Hollywood Awards Show in 2011. In 2012 Zia’s second single, “City Of Love” was featured in the film Disorientation and garnered considerable airplay across Australia. Her third single, “Looking At You”, picked up a gong at the 2013 Australian Independent Music Video Awards.
A sharp piece of urban-infused dance, “Sunshine” is a perfect three-minute summer anthem. “Sunshine” is accompanied by an animated video, which depicts in brilliant line drawings the simple joys of the Sunshine Coast, from the mountains to the ocean and all things in between.
“Sunshine is really close to my heart,” says Zia. “It’s an aural and lyrical expression of my childhood memories from when I was growing up on the Sunshine Coast.”
“Zia … a consistently good songwriter…great work”
– Robert L. Smith, Defy Recordings NYC (Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, U2, Glee et al.)
Mixing duties and additional production by Dave Manna, Sydney (ARIA and UK Club Chart regular).
“Zia’s music transcends time, space, genre and consciousness”
- Craig Obey DJ / Producer (Releasing Ministry of Sound, Australia)
