Musical career

Zoldan is an operatic mezzo-soprano singer.[2] She has combined her musical activities in the most diverse genres, singing in several operas in France for many years[3] and worked simultaneously with some heavy metal bands and other personal projects. Two of her most notable appearances were in Trail of Tears's Existentia (2007) and Turisas's Battle Metal (2004), where she was the main female vocalist.

On 8 September 2016, Norwegian gothic metal band Sirenia announced that Zoldan is their new official vocalist, replacing Spanish singer Ailyn Gimenez. Previously, she had worked with that group regularly for 13 years and was part of their Sirenian Choir. She contributed with lead vocals on a cover of Leonard Cohen "First We Take Manhattan", included in the EP Sirenian Shores (2004).[4][5]
