ABOUT AZITIZ:
Growing up, AZitiZ attended an all girl's spiritual boarding school in Florida whereas the students learned yoga, meditation & practiced strict vegetarianism. Young AZitiZ travelled the world, including India, (in which she lived there for 8 months) engaging in theatrical performances and mastering the fundamentals of music. Over the years, her music excellence became apparent as she excelled in different styles of drumming, studying at Ali Akbar College of
Music in San Rafael, California. Returning to the states, AZitiZ heard hip hop and fell in love with it.
Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill,
Erykah Badu & Missy Elliot are only a handful of music icons that have inspired her.
AZitiZ does not insult listeners. She does not hypnotize the uninspired with heard-it-before complacency. Her artistry is grounded in originality and truth speaking. Musically, AZitiZ crafts songs that comes alive with the fervent spirit of creativity in which they are formed. Lyrically, AZitiZ speaks what she knows, never faking and never, ever hiding from reality. Music, for her, is about joy, freedom, honesty and forming a connection with others. At the core is getting in touch with others through music. To make that connection, the music has to have something real to offer the listener, which is where keeping it real and refusing to water down the message - for anyone or any reason - come into play. The spirit of joy and the exuberance of freedom come from that synergy, possible only through talent and truth.
There is a reason for the strict standards behind the music of AZitiZ. "Love doesn't lie. Pure human artistic communication occurs only through the honesty exercised in one's craft. True expression is love. Therefore, to truly express one's self, it must be from love, the truest form of which requires emotional, artistic and intellectual honesty in song writing. Which means nothing is taboo. The good of life, and the bad, are all sources of influence for me. Life inspires the ups, downs, the smiles, frowns and me. Mother Earth inspires me; the stars and the unknown intrigue me. I am influenced by people who follow their hearts and souls."
She is a world traveling Musician, having been to Australia, Germany, Poland,
India and South Africa
