South African Singer-Songwriter and Berklee College of Music Graduate, Zarni releases brand new songs.

In 2000, Zarni’s mother and stepfather left their home in South Africa and came to the US with the promise of a bright future for their young (already musically passionate) daughter. A job opportunity brought the family to the unassuming town of Johnson City, New York and although Zarni was already doing talent shows and classical piano lessons in South Africa, she really started gaining momentum at Johnson City High School- a Grammy Signature School.

By age 17 (after years of gigging and several television appearances) Zarni was named one of the “Most influential Faces of the Southern Tier” and her photograph and biography was printed in a beautiful county-distributed hard copy book along with 50 other celebrated public figures.

In 2007, Zarni was accepted to the Berklee College of Music in Boston and she completed a Double Major in Music Education and Songwriting. In her last semester, Zarni received the “Scott Benson Scholarship”- the highest award given for Songwriting at the College. That same semester Zarni was one of twelve students selected to play for John Mayer and it was at that workshop that John Mayer said “I just want to hear it again” about Zarni’s song, “Evaporated” from one of her early albums.

For the last several years Zarni has been making a living as a musician in Seattle and has just released a 6 song EP produced by Tyler Johnson (Young Liars, Bear Mountain, Joshua Hyslop- Nettwerk Records). Having shared the stage with The Presidents of the United States of America, Mary Lambert, Jillette Johnson, Jenn Grinels, Liz Longley and several others, Zarni has a fan base that has supported her for a long time. Her EP was funded entirely by fans and friends via Kickstarter, and those supporters eagerly helped surpass her goal.
