About
As a songwriter and producer Ms. Zonneveld has worked with many different artists with releases in Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Germany, the U.K., Japan, and the U.S. Her work in Malaysia resulted in an Album of the Year award at the AIMM which is the Malaysian equivalent of the Grammy. She also contributed a song to Keb’ Mo’s album “Keep It Simple” which helped him win a Grammy (2005) in the Contemporary Blues category, a song for the Grammy nominated album “Big Wide Grin” (2003) performed by Grammy winners Keb’Mo’ and Brenda Russell, and to Melissa Manchester’s latest release called “Thank You For Your Faith In Me”. Recently Zonneveld contributed three songs for Japanese artist Yuki. Her album ‘Joy’ was at #1 for several weeks.
Taking music and social activism to another level, Zonneveld’s latest project Anni Zola, utilizes music and different forms of art to draw in tweens and young teenagers into a more purposeful direction. What she hopes to achieve is for children to be more motivated to care about the society we live in, to respect the environment, and to care enough to give back even if you’re a 10 year old. As a mother, Zonneveld feels adults have totally messed up the world, and that it is our responsibility to nurture the next generation, that is Generation Z, to be more responsible than we have been.
