"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm to life and gaiety to everything." ~ Plato

Za Unitt pulls her influence from soul, funk, blues, folk, and rock to create a uniquely world-quality sound. 

Her gritty yet sultry voice seems to flow from the same talented pool as Norah Jones, Nina Simone and Gillian Welch, just to name a few. Her heartfelt lyrics take you on a journey through the human experience.

Za's musical journey began when she observed open mic performers at the coffee house where she worked shortly after a long and painful divorce.
 

"I would watch on Wednesday nights as the kids would get up on the stage and lay their hearts out for everyone to see. I envied them..." Za recalls.

Her sideline observations of the budding performers ignited her personal interest in writing and performing her own music, offering her a healing and therapeutic opportunity to address her own life circumstances.

"I decided to pull out the guitar I had bought 13 years prior and vowed to learn, and finally start learning it," she says. "I wrote 2 songs and I accidentally learned 2 more. I was finally ready to take the stage."

Her first public performance didn't go nearly as well as she had planned.

"It was awful," she now says, laughing. "I shook so bad I lost my shoes. I trudged through the final 3 songs anyway, and in the end I was inspired to try harder."

Za worked every day on her craft and her performance skills as a singer-songwriter. In 2008, she formed her first band, Za's Pawnshop Special, performing for COMFest, The Very Special Arts Show, Wright State Student Union Hall, Clintonville Community Block Party, HempFest, Private Events, The Basement, The Treehouse, The Thirsty Ear, Woodlands, Victorians Midnight Cafe, The Shrunken Head and many other Venues in Columbus and the surrounding areas.
​ 

Today, Za continues to write and create new music that inspires her soul.
