Tania Zygar’s musical endeavors began at an early age, where she began extensive training on both the piano and guitar at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Canada. In just a few short years, the singer/songwriter has made a splash within the electronic dance music scene with her catchy hooks and silky vocals.
Though Zygar is a fan of several music genres, her talent caught the attention of EDM producer, Zoltan Kontes in 2007. The two found success on “Take Hold of Me [Black Hole Recordings]”, which was supported by a multitude of heavy-hitting DJ’s, such as Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Matt Darey, and tyDi. After a few other collaborations, Zygar then made a lasting impression during the summer of 2010. The deliciously-catchy single “Vanilla [AVA/Armada Records]” came to life with progressive house/trance producer, tyDi. Arguably one of the most popular tunes of the season, “Vanilla” reached the top ten position of several EDM charts and radio formats, such as beatport.com. The single gained worldwide popularity and support by countless DJ’s, and was a recurrent hit on widely successful podcasts, such as Above & Beyond’s “Trance Around The World” and Armin van Buuren’s “A State Of Trance.” The summer of 2010 also allowed the world to further discover the brewing artistry of Tania Zygar, where she humbly served as the opening act for none other than one of EDM’s most successful artists, Armin van Buuren, at a Canadian music festival.
Currently, Zygar has plans of releasing a solo artist album, set to display her versatility as a songwriter, vocalist, and overall EDM artist. She is highlighted on three of the fourteen tracks of the much-anticipated debut album from DJ/producer, tyDi. The album has been a success, spawning another hit single for tyDi and Tania with the self-penned, big room record, “Why Do I Care?” Even more recently, Zygar topped the beatport.com trance chart for 4 consecutive weeks with her immensely successful collaboration with Arty, “The Wall [Enhanced Music].” With a slew of upcoming live performances and a handful of notable collaborations to be released, Tania Zygar is a budding EDM artist that is destined for longevity. Citing other female electronic artists like Imogen Heap & Robyn as her greatest musical influences, Zygar possesses the talent to reach an array of electronic dance music fans and beyond -- this just marks the beginning.
