Zhavia Ward grew up surrounded by music and her family supported her aspirations from day one. Ward picked up her love for music from her mother, who’d sang lead in a metal band called Xenoterra. And when it came time for Ward to choose her own path, there was no question she’d follow in her mother’s footsteps.“I’ve definitely been working on my craft since I can remember,” Ward says. “There was never a moment where I was like, ‘I think I’m going to do this.’ I just knew that this is what I’m supposed to do and I’ve always felt that way. I’ve been singing ever since I could get a word out of my mouth.”
