Ziazan is always searching for new ways to tell stories.
She began learning music from the age of 3; and soon after developed a passion for acting, but was forced to give it up, along with school, when she caught glandular fever at 15.
In her two year period of recovery she began to write and completed five years at the Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama, becoming one of their best trumpeters. She also plays piano, harp and lute.
Since then she has worked tirelessly on reconstructing the lost art of ‘Bel Canto’: a singing technique that spanned roughly five hundred years until its demise in the early 20th Century.
Meanwhile, she has published two books of faery tales and is working on her first novel.
Now she is following the dream she has entertained since she saw Taffy Thomas perform when she was 4 – of traditional storytelling at festivals and fayres across the country.
But she has always been a storyteller. Every note she has ever played and every word she has ever written have been part of the great story she is bursting to tell to the world.
