The sound of strumming guitars; the feel of soft, wet clay; the scent of fresh brewed coffee: this was Zella Day’s childhood. Secluded in the quaint mountain town of Pinetop, Arizona, Zella’s creativity flourished with the forest at her doorstep. High above Phoenix Valley, Pinetop holds a population of 7,000, and Zella's family-owned Mor Mor Coffee House was an only sanctuary for artists. Surrounding herself with local musicians, Zella was inspired to pick up the guitar at the young age of nine. Before long, the blossoming chanteuse started performing sets including Bob Dylan and Elvis songs - selections inspired by her coffee house family.

The native Arizonan found a calling in music and used it as a form of self-realization penning her experiences and discovering herself through the intricacies of song. She drew inspiration from the serene Arizona mountains and turned to Clint Eastwood, old Western films, and cowboy rebel culture to help shape the attitude behind her music. The result is a raw, organic sound unconfined by the boundaries of genre. It effortlessly floats between the tonalities of female frontier-maker Stevie Nicks and art pop songbird Lana Del Rey while invoking imagery painted by Old Arizona and a free-spirited perspective.

Her upcoming self-titled EP is the ideal introduction to Zella, both as an artist and as a woman. The four-track collection showcases her Western Bohemian persona, juxtaposing the crunching drum machines and menacing electronics of its single, “Sweet Ophelia,” with chiming keys and soaring melodies in its lead-off track, “East Of Eden.” Though sonically diverse, this debut is an eye into the future of a prospering young talent. Each song comes straight from the heart as she sings about her love of Arizona (“Compass”), the strength of women (“Hypnotic”), and what it’s like to grow up with a rebellious soul.

Consequently, it’s not surprising the cover artwork features Zella standing in front of a vibrant yellow backdrop. Like the songs themselves, the pop art-influenced cover illustrates the songstress’ perception of the world and femininity with what she calls “fully clothed sexuality.” Drawing from the examples of beauty in Zella’s life, the imagery is both sensual and proper (the only skin revealed is her face) and yet another testament to the importance of girl power that engulfs this album.

This October, B3SCI/Pinetop Records will release 'Zella Day'. The debut EP follows up the April release of a limited edition 7-inch vinyl of “Sweet Opelia”/“1965.” The tracks were brought to life at Los Angeles's WAX LTD. Studios with the production and mixing prowess of Xandy Barry and Wally Gagel. This debut EP showcases a young singer-songwriter’s visceral visions and liberated mentality, while foreshadowing the depth of a long career that's yet to come.

Recorded, Produced and Mixed in Los Angeles @ WAX LTD. Studios by Wally Gagel and Xandy Barry.

It's Been Too Long - Persida, Reflection Theory

Singing has been a passion for Persida since the age of four when she discovered that music was her true calling. Born in communist Romania, she was brought up listening to classical music, including the works of Vivaldi, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky. When Persida was 12, her family escaped to the United States. She completed five years of opera training in the USA, which provided her with a strong musical foundation. Growing up in a pop culture environment introduced her to new music and modern artists, inspiring her to explore different musical styles.

She soon began composing songs and melodies on the piano and performing with Reflection Theory, an electronic rock band in Dallas, TX. For years, Persida wrote songs and performed regularly in local clubs as the lead singer and dancer for Reflection Theory. During that time, the group enjoyed bringing a new flavor to Dallas by combining electronic beats, rock elements, and unique vocals into a sound that prompted Adam Medway, a UK Film Producer, and former dance editor at Getmusic International, to describe them as "Enya meets Pink Floyd at a Rave." Reflection Theory released their self-titled CD co-produced by Rob Wechsler, whose discography includes Erykah Badu, Olivia Newton-John, and Vanilla Ice.

The group's strong stage performances led to an invitation to play with the Petshop Boys. Due to the overwhelming response to that show, Reflection Theory was asked to play with Moby and Dirty Vegas at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas. That summer, the CPL Championships hosted a "Battle of the Bands" contest between Reflection Theory and ABOYANDAGIRL, a band signed to Warner Music. Over 4,000 gamers attended the conference, and after votes were tallied, Reflection Theory won with 71% of the vote. "Good, unadulterated carnage" -- USA Today. The performance also prompted David Laprad, music journalist for The Adrenaline Vault to say "It was perfect." He described Persida's singing, saying, "Her angelic vocals add a captivatingly emotional dimension to the group's songs."

Soon after, the song "It's Been Too Long", blending electronic and rock elements, was played on mainstream radio. The year ended with a sold-out New Year's Eve show at The Hard Rock Cafe, where more than 1000 people danced in the New Year.

In addition to her work with Reflection Theory, Persida ventured into other musical endeavors, such as singing the national anthem for a Dallas Stars Hockey game, providing the soundscape for a Dallas fashion show, and performing acoustic sets at various venues. 

Persida's motto is "Ground your feet, then let your spirit soar." In trying to find balance, a shift occurred when Persida decided to move to Los Angeles as well as pursue a career in the financial world. 

She obtained her CPA license and Master’s in Tax and established her own CPA firm specializing in the entertainment industry. Despite her success in the financial realm, Persida couldn't ignore her deep-seated need for music and creativity in her life. She has recently delved into producing house tracks while remaining open to collaborations within the electronic music space. Her journey demonstrates her resilience and determination to soar in both business and creative worlds.
