"I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show"

What do you get when, by way of a tiny mountain space-port called Crestone, Colorado you criss-cross the paths, of two August born creative-genius space travellers?
LIONZZ.

The musical project is the inter-dimensional space baby of Berlin based actress, singer-songwriter Zsa Zsa Inci and Los Angeles based music producer, composer and sound designer Justin Walden. 

The term “based” being loosely used here since the two have been on separate creative pilgrimages the last five years that have taken them all over the globe. And in a tale that exemplifies the Chinese thread of destiny philosophy, brought them together in 2013. Zsa Zsa while working as the lead actress on her first US feature film was brought to the attention of Justin Walden while he was doing sound design for the same film. Marc n Cleo is a top secret film project expected to be released 2015 that will debut their new and unique eclectic electro-punk dance sound as a major part of the films character, much to the delight of the films director producer, A. Raven Cruz. The three have spent the better part of 2014 editing their film and recording, sometimes across oceans, several tracks that will be included in the films soundtrack and comprise some of their debut album titled “Rebela.” 

Huddled away in a tiny high desert town in north-eastern Arizona, the Lionzz have been in the studio day and night distilling a new sound from the varying influences that have penetrated the psychic field of both these artists. 

Born of rock-star parents, Justin from an R&B megahit songwriter and Zsa Zsa from a German-Turk rock duo that involved her mom and dad. Zsa Zsa was born in the mid 90’s and before meeting Justin, was most comfortable with only a guitar and her delicately-dreamy but powerful voice, while Justin born in 1970 is a master of the studio and a lover of all things that make noise, a modern day Samurai-composer with the skill to create and manipulate everything that makes a waveform. Somehow the two have found an auspicious and I dare say magical platform of common ground (afloat in the cosmos mind you) from which to broadcast their genius into a single powerful voice, despite the vastly different musical eras in which they were steeped.

The result is a refreshingly new yet totally familiar, heart penetrating and all together mind blowing sound called for now, simply… LIONZZ.
