8 week Songwriting Course

I am super excited to announce that I am teaching an 8-week songwriting course at The Santa Monica Music Center! Every week we will deconstruct and analyze the techniques used in creating a well known classic song (new and old)!

Students will then be prompted to create an original song idea and present it in class the following week! Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned writer, this course will inspire and engage you in pushing the boundaries and excelling at your craft!

I am overjoyed to have this opportunity to use my voice for a cause that indeed strikes a personal chord. The Ukranian refugees today are going through a horrific experience that leaves, for those who make it, a lifelong trauma. 

I was a child when everything came crumbling down in my native Yugoslavia, a country that isn't on the maps anymore.I, a Bosnian child was given a second chance at life in Sweden. 

It's a privilege to be there for the Ukranian refugees alongside several of my childhood heroes, Krayzie Bone, Damon Elliot Nomad and the iconic Dionne Warwick!

New album Detour out April 24 FREE!  

 

 

I've decided to release my new album Detour FREE on all platforms! In this crazy time when many people are struggling with this complete and sudden change of our individual as well as our collective realities, I feel that the least I can do is give my music away for free. 

I sincerely hope these 14 songs will inspire you, make you laugh, cry and access emotions that will help you through this time! 

3 out of the 14 songs on the album are by performed by my alter ego punk/rock/soul band The Midnight Mission. 

Also look out for the new music video for the song Irrefutable, featuring Eldorado Blast from Long Island, NY!

The Midnight Mission Live Review by Music Connection!  

Some of the highlights from the latest issue of Music Connection: 

(the journalist Miguel Costa came out to our show at Factory West Studios)

"Over the years, Zana Messia has developed a penchant for writing soulful music that incorporates music from different countries."

"One of the band's most eclect live compositions is an unreleased love song called Enuff." 

"The Midnight Mission will be releasing this new music as a part of a collection that Messia co-created with her Grammy-nominated producer, Billy Mohler. "
