ZARA TAYLOR
The Voice of EDM
Celebrated as a chart-topping vocalist with a global footprint, Zara Taylor’s ethereal vocals have been the heartbeat of the global EDM scene for over two decades. Hailing from British Columbia, Canada, Zara’s exploration through the rhythmic landscapes of EDM has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Standing at the precipice of the next chapter of her musical career, Zara has just released her highly anticipated full-length album. This “best of” collection serves as a retrospective of her remarkable journey, featuring songs written over her 20-year career. The album will have listeners dancing around the globe. Featuring some of Zara’s favourite collaborations, celebrating cultures spanning the Middle East, Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, this album is made up of a multitude of EDM genres. The Best of Zara Taylor is comprised of 22 original songs, predominantly classic, uplifting and Balearic trance, with a few progressive house tracks. The common threads in each song are COMPASSION, TRUTH and HOPE, where dark meets light, with LOVE as the only compass.
“This album is a collection of songs I’ve written over my 20-year career. Sounds of uplifting trance from the clubs of Ibiza to the lounges of chill house on the rooftops of Turkey. Each song on the album is like an aural photograph of my heart space; capturing a moment in time along my journey. After two decades of releasing only singles to the world, I am thrilled to finally have a body of work under one title. This is, in my opinion, ‘The Best of Zara Taylor - thus far.”
Zara found her voice in the realm of EDM in 2006 while residing in Montreal, QC. Teaming up with DJ Sultan (of Sultan + Shepard), she quickly captured international recognition with mesmerizing tracks like “No Why,” “Be With You,” and the official remix of “Let’s Get Physical.”
However, it was her collaboration with Roger Shah (aka Sunlounger), that thrust Zara into the stratosphere of EDM acclaim. Their transcendent anthem “Lost” soared to the summits of the Beatport charts, reigning as #1 not once, but thrice – in 2008, 2010, and its resplendent 10-year anniversary in 2018. With over 16 million streams on Spotify, the track has garnered accolades like the prestigious title of No.1 trance song of the year on asot radio in 2008 and in 2023 was voted by over 40 million listeners as one of their best trance songs of all time.
Zara spent nearly a decade touring over 30 countries, leaving an indelible mark on stages worldwide. However, amidst the whirlwind of performances and accolades, she decided to step away from the spotlight to embrace another facet of life's journey – motherhood. Transitioning seamlessly from stage to studio, Zara's passion for music remained unwavering. In 2017, she partnered with Black Octopus Sound to offer vocal sample packs, empowering producers worldwide to weave her enchanting melodies and profound lyrics into their songs. This allowed her to expand her reach and stay connected to her devoted fanbase. Zara has been featured on hundreds of songs, amassing over 150 million views on YouTube alone, and appears on hundreds of EDM compilation albums worldwide. Remixes featuring Zara are released daily, an affirmation of her legacy as one of the most sought-after EDM vocalists of our time.
In a world pulsating with rhythm, Zara Taylor remains the heartbeat of EDM evolution, her voice echoing through the ages, igniting passion on dancefloors worldwide.
