By all accounts, 2012 was a banner year for up-and-coming blues-hop/soul singer ZZ Ward. Releasing the mixtape Eleven Roses in February, the Criminal EP in May and her full-length debut Til the Casket Drops in October proved she was nothing if not prolific. Since then, she has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, had her music featured on ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars, MTV's Awkward and in promos for ABC's hit series Nashville, and completed a 50-date headlining American tour with sold-out dates in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Denver and Nashville. Ward is still in awe of the buzz that has continued to build around her and her music this past year. 2013 is promising to be even busier for Ward. She recently appeared on Conan, is co-headlining The Fire and Shine Tour with Delta Rae, and will be performing at SXSW, where she first introduced herself as an artist to watch out for last year. If you thought 2012 was a great year for Ward, 2013 is going to prove the best is yet to come.

In the first decade of this millennium there has been a roller coaster of genres throughout pop music. What we once knew as rock ‘n’ roll has now been thrown into a whole new world of electronic dance music. You may be asking at this point, where does Minshara fit into all of this? Call them a lot of things except “more of the same.” From an uplifting “Pet Sounds-esque” ballad to a massive club banger, it is difficult to describe their sound in only a few words. From dubstep to progressive rock, Incubus to The Beatles, their music explores a range of influences while remaining uniquely distinct.
