San Francisco based singer-songwriter Ziva Hadar, was born and raised in Kibbutz Mizra, Israel. She has been writing songs and performing around the Bay Area for the past 3 years. Ziva’s self produced debut release, Just Another Night (Winter 2012), is a collection of 5 compelling and powerful rock ballads, reminiscent of artists such as Fiona Apple, Evanescence and 30 Seconds to Mars. The EP, which was recorded in a rehearsal space in Bay View, San Francisco by Andrew U'Ren (Pebble Theory), was intended at first to serve as a new demo recording, but after receiving many enthusiastic responses to these recordings, Ziva teamed up with producer Joe Kay to mix and master at Faultline Studios in San Francisco, and with the help of many supporters and a successful Kickstarter campaign, the new demo turned into Ziva's debut EP.
'Just Another Night' features Ziva Hadar on lead vocals, piano & guitar, Kipp Glass on bass & backing vocals, Jon Jimmerson on lead guitar, Julia Jurkiewicz on cello and Chad Sylva on drums.
All five tracks posses strong melodies, relatable lyrics, engaging vocal harmonies, dynamic and heartfelt accompaniment, and an impressive rhythm section. Ziva's spunky, passionate, powerful and versatile vocals make her songs an epic and memorable experience.
Thus far in her career, Ziva has performed both solo and with her band, at Bay Area venues such as The Independent (WomenROCK's 5th Anniversary, which sold out), Yoshi’s, Cafe Du Nord, Cafe' Cocomo (Bay Vibes Summer MusicFest #3), Red Devil Lounge, and 111 Minna Gallery. She has produced fundraisers to support the American Diabetes Association, and has performed in several rallies supporting social justice, representing NOW (National Organization for Women).
Ziva is constantly writing new material, drawing inspiration from various musical styles such as rock, pop, R&B, jazz, soul, acoustic, funk, electronica and more. Her live shows showcase many of these influences, while she takes her audience on an adventure, incorporating all of these genres into her own unique style.
