ABOUT ZZ WARD: ZZ Ward burst onto the scene with her fiery Eleven Roses mixtape in early 2012 – sparking a media frenzy and showcasing her soulful take on a blues/hip hop blend, which ultimately led to her critically-acclaimed debut album Til The Casket Drops. Her debut single off the album, the foot-stomping “Put The Gun Down,” broke into the Top 10 on the AAA radio chart – staying there for 10 weeks and was followed by two more Top 10 singles, her anthemic "365 Days" and her gut-wrenching ballad "Last Love Song". A bonafide headliner, ZZ has wrapped numerous sold- out headlining tours, opened for Fitz & The Tantrums, Gary Clark Jr. and Eric Clapton and has quickly become a festival darling – gracing stages including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Made in America. ZZ now has her sights set on her sizzling new single "LOVE 3X" and the release of her Love & War EP on August 28th to coincide with the kick-off of her Love & War U.S. headline tour. ZZ’s highly-anticipated sophomore album, This Means War, will be released March, 4 2016 via Hollywood Records.
