Singer, songwriter, and musician Zakiya Harmony has a soulful and sultry style of music. She began her journey with music at the tender age of 9 when she played the saxophone in her elementary school band. After rapping for several years as an adolescent into adulthood, it wasn’t until the birth of her son and losing her job as an educator in 2012 that she realized she needed reevaluate her life. Zakiya gave up the tumultuous lifestyle she was living and gravitated towards a more positive lifestyle. As a way to express herself she began teaching herself how to play the guitar and writing songs to the music that she composed. Zakiya has performed at Sweet Auburn Festival, Yellow Daisy Festival, Callanwolde Arts Festival, Chastain Park Arts Festival, and The Piedmont Arts Festival, as well as many other venues around the Atlanta area. Zakiya’s unique style of music and her life story is what sets her apart from so many other artists. “I just want to impact the world through positive music and music that has helped me get through so many obstacles in life”, says Zakiya. “Everyone has a purpose in life and I believe my purpose is to inspire others through music.”
