She Performed A Song She Never Sang Before For Her Voice Audition

Auditioning for a big competition show like The Voice is what some would consider a once in a lifetime opportunity. So, you can probably imagine that most people have spent countless hours practicing their performance. Zan, on the other hand, did the exact opposite. Zan sang the song “Light On” for her audition, and that was her very first time performing the song.

 

She Is A Worship Leader At Her Church

Zan Fiskum’s faith is a big part of her life and her career. She grew up singing in the church and is currently a worship leader at New Life Church in Renton, WA. Through the church, she also met fellow musician Alec Shaw. The two eventually became a duo who did live performances in the Seattle area.

 

She Writes Her Own Music

Zan has already proven that she’s great at performing her own version of other artists’ songs, but she also has music of her own. In addition to singing, Zan also enjoys writing her own music. She is currently in the process of working on a full length project of original songs. She plans to call the project “Sleeping Problems” and says several songs will touch on her personal struggles with sleep.

 

Zan Isn’t Her Full Name

Picking the right stage name is important for any artist. Luckily for Zan Fiskum she didn’t have to look too hard to find the perfect name for her. The name Zan is actually a shortened version of her first name, Suzannah.
