She is also a solo DJ, and part of a six-piece country music band called Brush Prairie. In 1995, with hardly any prior musical experience, Zia joined The Dandy Warhols. In an interview, Zia said, "I always wanted to be a performer/artist of some sort.
When I was little I thought I would be a dancer, and in college I was heading towards metal sculpture.
Luckily, I took a beginning guitar class for fun in college, that really helped once I was in the band, I could recognize the chords and play along, also the dance background was good for rhythm."
