Zan Fiskum

Zan is a singer-songwriter raised in the small town of Maple Valley, WA where she spent most of her time either running barefoot in the forest or volunteering with her family at a local dinner theater, both of which inspired her to make the music she is today. Her angelic voice soars over her soulful and ethereal storytelling. Reminiscent of artists Lana Del Ray and Brandi Carlile, she blends the lines between indie/pop and americana/folk as she writes about childhood trauma, the intricacies of family dynamics, connection to the natural world as well as a fan-favorite: love.

Zan’s debut album, “Sleeping Problems'' brings together her love for atmospheric and orchestral arrangements, alongside indie pop production and songwriting. Despite being released in the midst of a global pandemic the album made outstanding strides forward; She performed her single, “You Are The Light '' for over 1.2 million people on New Years at The Needle (KING 5 News) catching the attention of hall of fame DJ Marco Collins who aired it on his show at KEXP. In July of 2021 Zan and her band took the stage for their first time at The Triple Door, maxing out ticket sales and leaving many of her audience members in tears. 

The success of this album opened the doors for Zan to share the stage with Dave Mathews, Portugal The Man and Shaina Shepherd, for the SMASH benefit concert at The Moore Theater, as well as receive the Black Fret 2022 artist grant alongside Paris Alexa, True Loves and Sassy Black. Among these wonderful accomplishments she has also gone on to perform at Chateau st Michelle as a featured artist with John legend on his Bigger Love tour (sept 2021). 

With her first release receiving over 2.8 million streams on Spotify alone Zan looks ahead with excitement to the debut of her second record, “Forbidden Art” in February 2023. Showcasing Zan’s range this project beautifully exposes her maturity not only as a songwriter and vocalist but also as an individual as she conveys the stories of her life with resilience and grit. While staying true to her folk/pop songwriting she incorporates sounds of soul, dream pop, world percussion and indie rock into her music. This project features incredible collaborations with artists like award-winning composer/violinist Andrew Joslyn (Seattle Symphony, Head And The Heart, Kesha), Dan Walker (Heart), Jacob Miller, and Alec Shaw and is sure to captivate both fans and artists for years to come.
