--Biography--
From her auspicious debut, singer-songwriter Zara Phillips has led a charmed musical life. Her engaging and confident style combines strong lyrical themes with powerful melodies to create music that is both thought-provoking and entertaining.
Zara Phillips began her professional career working as a backing vocalist for Bob Geldof. Live-Aid creator Geldof recruited Phillips for his first solo projects after he departed the chart-topping UK band The Boomtown Rats. She worked on Geldof’s album “Deep in the Heart of Nowhere,” music videos and television appearances on some of the U.K.’s most highly-rated programs. She also toured extensively throughout Italy, Germany, Spain, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.
Zara’s musical career quickly blossomed from that point. She continued her work on tour, in television and videos with U.K. artists such as Matt Bianco, Nick Kamen, David Essex, Perfect Day and the solo project from Dire Straits’ John Illsley. She also performed in an All-Star Band alongside Boy George, Meatloaf, Bobby Womack, Andy Summers and Zach Starr, among others. Additionally, she toured in support of Bananarama, the most successful British girl group in pop history.
At the same time as her busy touring schedule, Zara enjoyed a successful career as a session singer and lead singer on various commercial jingles. This success eventually led her to shift her focus to a solo career. She began writing music and formed her own band, Zara and the Last Temptation, which played throughout London at prestigious venues such as The Mean Fiddler.
Born and raised in London, Zara loved to sing and dance from a young age and enjoyed spending hours in her room writing all the lyrics to musicals and performing each part. She auditioned for school shows but was told her voice was too deep and never got the leads. A boyfriend persuaded her to join a band and soon started playing gigs around London. She also started tinkering with the guitar, asking any musician she knew (including Geldof and Illsley) to teach her a chord.
In 1995 Zara moved to Los Angeles where she continued writing new songs and performing solo. She has recently finished work on a new CD entitled “When the Rain Stops” produced by Ted Perlman, winner of this year’s Grammy Award for Burt Bacharach’s CD “At This Time”. This CD features 14 original tracks written by Zara (one track is a co-write with Ted).
Zara’s deeply personal song “Secrets” was used on the Emmy Award winning Daytime Soap, NBC’s “PASSIONS.” Two other songs, “My Time” and “Naked Loving You” will soon be heard on the soundtracks for upcoming short films from Organic Digital Productions.
