Born and raised in New York City, Zita Zenda spent her early childhood in both the U.S.V.I and in Switzerland attending boarding school. With a Haitian and Hungarian background, she is first generation American. In her teen years she attended a Russian high school on the Upper East Side, introducing another language to her French/English fluency. She graduated at sixteen in 1981, and attended Southampton College at Long Island University. There she studied European Literature and Creative Writing, and found her voice through poetry.
Zita Zenda’s late father, Laslo Zenda, was a Baron in the Austro/Hungarian Monarchy, and a camera operator on THE BICYCLE THEIF. Her mother, Marie Therese Salnave, was the great-granddaughter of Sylvain Salnave, a short-lived President of Haiti, 1867-69. Together, Zita’s parents owned two prestigious restaurants in St. Croix and St. Thomas, U.S.V.I, in the 1960’s and early 70’s. She was raised with a unique understanding of the world, as larger than one homeland, and always felt that genuine communication between people was of the utmost importance.
Currently, a mother of two, Ms. Zenda has spent the last 8 years working as an assistant in finance, in each of the private equity, hedge fund and investment banking areas.
Zita Zenda makes her directorial debut with her documentary film, WHERE’S THE MUSIC AT?
Without music, life would be a mistake. - Nietzsche
SYNOPSIS
Each and every night of the week, countless singer/songwriter/musicians perform in local venues in and around New York City.
With record label deals few and far between, and ever-expanding and user-friendly media technologies, will artists ultimately have total control over their careers?
WTMA is an indie rockumentary film about the state of the music industry, featuring live performances and artist interviews.
