Zeyla Tomlyn on SoundBetter

Professional Singer, Songwriter, Producer with over 20 years of experience. "The queen of melody, no matter the style" is what a client once said. I LOVE music and am blessed with collaborations and happy clients from over 30 countries. Singing with Bobby McFerrin and studying with Alicia Keys are just two of my favorite highlights.

My greatest specialties are singing, writing top-lines, and recording backing vocals in style of WORLD MUSIC, SOUL and EDM.
Studying at the London Songwriting Academy taught me a lot, I participated in Masterclasses with Alicia Keys, Roger Treece (Bobby McFerrin Co-Producer), Timbaland, Deadmau5, Andrew Huang, Armin Van Buren, Sitek, and studied Music Licensing with Michael Elsner.

Spontaneously singing with Bobby McFerrin has been one of my favorite moments, also a 13 concert tour with Roy Hargrove's Pianist and Grammy-nominee Joel Holmes has been great, I recorded the album "I wish I knew" with former Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, James Brown Drummer Jimmy Madison, arranged and played a show with German Rock Legend Peter Maffay.. I could go on and on.

I have lots of experience with singing in a choir, all kinds of bands and ensembles, yet the number of national and international collaborations is countless. There's hardly a festival in my country I didn't perform at, and in 2014 I've been part of "The Voice" Romania, leading the way to a collaboration with the major Studio in Romania and Eastern Europe, "Hahaha Productions". My music got featured in countless radio shows in Romania and Germany and got pitched in movies. I Recently changed my name to Zeyla Tomlyn, so you'll find me as such in the future.

    See my previous review for Zeyla. Her voice is wonderful, truly special. She delivered results quickly and the audio files she provided were clean and in great shape.

    A stunning voice, with great range and versatility. I wasn't able to be particularly prescriptive in my request, and Petra provided options that showed an innate sense of musicality and a full recognition of her voice as a wonderful instrument. Going to work with her again, and soon!

    I have commissioned Petra to add melodies to over 20 of the lyrics written. . I gave her full creative authorization to edit the lyrics and create the melodies with references given. Out of the 35 pieces of Broadway musical Forgiven, her arrangements and compositions were the best. She is such a gifted artist without any limitations of what she can do musically. She can write, arrange, compose, and sing like no one I have ever met. She is certainly a superstar.

    One of the best experience I had in my life was meeting Zeyla, in lovely shocked as well after hearing what she can do with her voice and the huge amount of awesome ideas she is coming with when we are working on a project.
    I just can't wait to work again with her.
    All the best, Zeyla Tomlyn!

    Highly recommended!

    Zeyla is a music powerhouse with one of the most versatile voices you can find. Having a solid control control of her voice, she is crossing over genres using a deep understanding of vocal technique and a natural way of connecting to the instruments. You can feel her passion for music is deeply rooted. And I did not get to her productions where she will bring the special ingredients you’re looking for.
    I highly recommend checking her✨🏆
