ALBUM NOTES & QUOTES
SEPTEMBER Single Release 2024
September is an original composition in which I am experimenting both with open D tuning on my acoustic guitar, and with simplicity in my songwriting. It is a tribute to nature and its teachings. September was mixed by Scott Richmond Music and mastered by Case Engineering.

MERCY Single Release 2023
Mercy is my interpretation of the Dave Matthew's song. In it, I am experimenting with an electric guitar, am using unfamiliar chord patterns that I discovered but don't know their names, and am playing with a drum beat loop, all of which takes me somewhat out of my comfort zone as a singer / songwriter. I am very excited to release my cover of this beautiful Dave Matthews song.
Mercy was mixed by Scott Richmond Music, where he situated me acoustically in Trinity Chapel, King’s College, London England. Mastering was completed by Magic Garden Mastering, Los Angeles

STANDING ON A PLATFORM OF KINDNESS Album 2016
Thirteen talented musicians accompany Bev Zizzy’s powerful vocals and unmasked insightful songwriting on her album, Standing on a platform of KINDNESS, which she both co-produced and designed. Although the thirteen album tracks offer diverse lyrical stories and varied instrumentation, they are all thematically connected by an underlying theme of kindness that runs like a river throughout.
"Standing on a platform of KINDNESS metaphorically melds personal experience to societal struggles with Bev's velvety, smooth vocals and inspirational acoustic soul. The whole album works as an extended metaphor, describing the journey of life." ~Angela Shaffer, www.punchland.com

WHAT A FRIEND DOES 1st Album Single May 2016
Bev Zizzy cleverly delivers her simple but profound lyrics with her smoky, compelling, vocals complemented by innovative jazz bass lines and piano accents in What a Friend Does.
"Bev Zizzy is an artist that clearly writes and sings from the heart. 'What a Friend Does' is a song that beautifully showcases her smoky voice and kept my toes tapping long after it ended." ~ Allyson Reigh, Rosie & the Riveters.
“Zizzy Makes Modern Jazz Shine. Rolling with modern-jazz energies, ‘What a Friend Does’ harnesses the positives found in friendship. Zizzy wraps music with experience. Here, she shows that the support of one’s friends assists in solving daily struggles of life. Bev Zizzy’s redirected-modern-jazz and velvet vocals display the evolving attributes of genre.”

STAY SOFT 2nd Album Single June 2016
The pain of loss pulsates throughout this unmasked self reflection, revealing the narrator's inner struggle to be free of the demons fed by anger and holding on, delivered with a powerful crescendo of vocal harmonies, drums, violin and cello.
"There's a timeless energy and earnest emotion to Bev's new track. The instruments are mesmerizing and flow beautifully with her soulful voice. For a song called 'Stay Soft' , the delivery packs quite a punch."
Kim Belding, QCIndie.com
WOMAN IN BLACK Album 2009
Singer/songwriter Bev Zizzy delivers fourteen powerful originals of deeply personal, insightful, often heart-wrenching but always positive stories in her own distinct blend of acoustic soul, jazz, and blues. Her stories are real; her vocally compelling delivery is intense, innovative, and passionate; and her lyrics indisputably hopeful and inspiring.

BEV ZIZZY SELF-TITLED EP 2008
With her self titled EP release in 2008, BEV ZIZZY, Bev shares three tracks of insightful, heartfelt, and gripping lyrical commentaries of personal and global turmoil, balanced with a gutsy blues rant to keep your spirit lifted. She continues to reveal her profoundly introspective soul searching songwriting abilities, while adding considerable depth and power to her soulful vocal delivery.
IF MY LIFE WERE A SONG EP 2002
The debut EP release of four tracks of acoustic soul, If My Life Were a Song, marks the beginning of Bev Zizzy's venture into the world of songwriting to explore life experiences, and introduces the singer / songwriter as an artist with something to say, and the vocals to deliver it.
