EVA ZAKULA sips her Lavender Honey Spice at M Street Coffee in Studio City,  takes a breath of inspiration with a post from artist Paul Kenton before crossing the street to the recording studio where she sketches new music daily. In pursuit of transcendent creation, EVA ZAKULA immerses herself in a ritual of self-discovery of her own unconventional emotion, deepening world view, and heightened artistic sensitivity.  She was a young hippie-type leading church hymns and performances in the Bay Area scene, who became an artist finding insight on miles-long walks through Los Angeles to Santa Monica Beach where inspiration was everywhere.   

EVA ZAKULA’s influences are apparent in her soulful reworked cover of Stevie Wonder’s 1973 Jesus Children of America. No genre is off-limits as she translates the vibe through her eyes. She credits inspiration to artists she grew up with like Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson, Wolfmother, System Of A Down, Chaka Khan, Julie London and an ever continuous playlist from her life.  

EVA ZAKULA’s calling to serve in music, throttled an intense artistic drive from her first garage band at age 16 (Eva and The Handsome’s) through her USC School of Dramatic Arts days, to her recording focus that lead to the creation of her current vault of music. Industry shakers are watching as her first recordings reveal signs of what is a breakthrough artist in the making. The music is as she intends it… transcendent, connective, and a heightened human experience.
