■Performer Profile

Zandi Holup
(Country Musician)
Hailing from Pennsylvania with deep southern roots, if there’s one thing about Zandi that is certain—she is different. Zandi has a low husky voice, edgy songwriting, and a unique story. Her music is a voice for the unheard. She sings about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Zandi is no frills, relatable, and raw. Her music is described as “delicate and earthy,” “gritty,” and “visceral.” Her first and only release to date “Wait For You” sat at number one on the Fresh Finds Spotify playlist of all genres, amassing over half a million streams with no promotion other than her 250k+ TikTok following. She is currently working on recording more songs for her many fans who are eagerly anticipating the release.
