Ziva Hadar grew up in Israel and began her relationship with music at an early age - developing multi-instrumental and vocal skills through formal study. This led several years playing and performing with various musical projects, and a found affinity for songwriting.

In 2007, Ziva moved to San Francisco to further pursue her songwriting and performing career. Over the past 2 years she has enlisted a solid lineup to support her efforts:
bassist/vocalist Kipp Glass, guitarist Jon Jimmerson, drummers Chad Sylva and Miles Escobedo, violist Be’eri Moalem, and cellist Julia Jurkiewicz.

Referencing jazz, blues, rock, and pop – Ziva and her band have created a cohesive and effective sound. They possess theatrical elements, exotic rhythms, and a healthy dose of instrumental dynamics. Ziva provokes her piano and propels her songs with admirable composure and intention. Her voice is dimensional and sure from its deepest brooding lows to fierce highs. The band behind her serves as an army of confidence and cause her progressions to explode.

Influences include Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Jeff Buckley, 30 Seconds to Mars, Kaki King, and Evanescence.
