Zeta Wave is the musical alias of Aliya Hashemi, a singer-songwriter from Seattle. Embarking on a new journey, Aliya moved to Los Angeles where she continued writing, and eventually recorded the songs for her debut EP titled "Over". Her genre is the bedroom dance pop for fans of Robyn, Plumb, and Kylie Minogue. Aliya, a vibrant young singer-songwriter, has had a passion for music since day one. She grew up singing and playing music throughout her childhood, where she started playing piano, guitar, and flute by age 12. Her music is informed from inspirations as diverse A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatles, and Fiona Apple. You can also see Aliya in the 2014 music inspired indie film, "Lucky Them", in which she landed a small part while passing through Seattle on tour. A recent drawn-out breakup inspired her first single Strange Heartbeat. The sentiment is about hanging on and trying to make it work, but not being able to ignore the uneasiness in your heart, and that it's time to move on. When it was time to lay down the foundation for the recording, Aliya discovered Zach Nicita (of NICITA and MSMR) on Youtube. Impressed by his creativity, she reached out to him on Facebook and shared a rough recording of the song. Nicita agreed to program drums and worked on them in New York and on his off time while on tour with MSMR. From there, Aliya and her musician friends added eerie synth sounds to round out the song. Waltz came together during a dreary Seattle winter. While struggling with endless days of gray, Aliya penned the love song to escape, as Waltz is about finding and losing yourself in a love that is larger than you, that which is always with you and transcends the day-to-day happenings that can bog you down.
