New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Melbourne singer songwriter Tassia Zappia introduces herself with the debut single and music video �You Don�t Want Me� via Republic Records. Listen to �You Don�t Want Me�. With a combination of throwback reverence and fresh and fiery energy, Tassia immediately asserts herself as an artist to watch.
Tassia Zappia, Italian born in Melbourne, doesn�t gloss over the little things in her music. She approaches her lyrics with a keen eye for detail only amplified by her show-stopping delivery, outsized vocal flare, and free spirit. Listening to the Australian singer and songwriter can feel like being in the room right next to her during some momentous turning point.
About �You Don�t Want Me,� she shared, �I wrote the song about the first guy I tripped hard on. It�s just so real, I felt those lyrics. When you�re completely and utterly in love but this person doesn�t want you, there�s nothing worse. Musically, we dove into my roots and merged those with a modern vibe to mix two worlds together.�
As a kid, Tassia discovered Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, and
Frank Sinatra through her parents, developing an appreciation for �super old school classics.�
Feeling like an outsider, she turned to poetry and music. By 12-years-old, she began writing songs. She discovered
Amy Winehouse and
Lauryn Hill and incorporated all of these inspirations into a raw, unfiltered, and soulful style. In 2019, she took a trip to Los Angeles for a music camp that wasn�t all it was cracked up to be. Instead, it �felt like Fyre Fest,� but she ended up with her first break, nevertheless. After performing her original composition �WHEN I WAS FOUR� during a visit from chart-topping songwriter
Heidi Rojas [Little Mix, Cheryl Cole], she left the audience in tears. Rojas asked for Tassia�s phone number, and they met for coffee a few days later. The following day
Heidi took Tassia to a session with
Lauren Christy, formerly of The
Matrix [Avril Lavigne,
David Bowie, Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha, Rihanna], and this led to Tassia signing a development deal with
Heidi and Lauren�s production company. Along the way, she inked a deal with Republic and crafted her debut single �You Don�t Want Me.�
