My Personal Letter to You
Thank you for taking a moment to learn a little about me. I guess you could say that my music journey has not been a straight path. I've been performing on stages since the age of three. I'm a wife, educator, and mother of 4 beautiful daughters. After all these years, my reason for continuing to create music and perform on stages is deeply rooted in my love for how music can change perspectives, connect humans, and bring joy to despairing hearts.
My biggest question when I think about how we infuse art into our daily lives, not just for pure entertainment is: How can we as individuals ignite change for a better world? We are living in a time when we need to inspire future protagonists and shake the apathetic conditioning out of our societal existence. This is the movement I am hoping to unite around.
XOXO - Zahyia

An eclectic theater presentation featuring The Benevolent Mischief Arkestra. This high energy performance is a combination of jaw dropping impersonations, a 4 piece horn section, comedic theatrics, and audience participation.
