Inspiration, poetry, and songs from global rappers like Freddie Gibbs and Kendrick Lamar were closely tied to the beginnings of Zsuzsanna Eva Ward, before convincing the world that her personal perception of blues and soul could lead her to widespread recognition from fans and the media. Essentially, her style has evolved into a fusion of genres where originality in the treatment of black music which has influenced her since childhood, predominates. Black rock from Sly Stone and the blues of Albert King. She debuted with the self-released EP "Eleven Roses" (2011) before signing with Hollywood Records, a label that released a second EP, "Criminal" (2012), and her first album, "Til the Casket Drops" (2012). With her second album, "The Storm" (2017), Ward solidified her status as an artist by reaching number 1 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart. ZZ Ward is a woman with the musical talent necessary to infuse blues music with elements that draw the attention of mainstream audiences who are usually less interested in the genre. She has mastered the art of composing and performing great songs while understanding the boundaries that would distance her from the loyalty and fidelity that blues requires. An indispensable ingredient is her voice; she is a singer with absolutely unpredictable vocal ranges. Aretha Franklin and Etta James. It's a disservice not to listen deeply to this artist and discover her authenticity.
