WHERE, HOW
KADY Z WHY, WHAT,
On Kady Z’s
websitekadyzmusic.com, if
you click on her “Bio” you’ll find a list of some information you wouldn’t know about Kady. Here is a partial list with the “why, what, where and how” added in for good measure.
She named her dog after a Teletubby. What is her dog’s name?
“My dog’s name is Po. That’s the little red one, who is the cutest one.”
Gone with the Wind is her favorite book. Why? “It’s such a romantic book. I read that Margaret Mitchell wrote the book with
Clark Gable in mind and he still is one of my favorite actors in the world.”
Gwen Stefani is one of her favorite singers. Which of the two solo albums is her favorite? “For sure,The Great Escape.”
Kady’s mother speaks fluent Polish. Is Kady able to speak in Polish?
“I can’t. If I told you… I’d have to kill you. She doesn’t really speak fluent Polish but she has her Polish moments. That’s enough Polish for me. I only know how to say the swear words.”
Her favorite cuisine is Greek. What is her favorite Greek dish?
“I love spanakopita.” [Greek Spinach Pie] “[Her mother Pia Zadora] has
always been very supportive. She’s always said, ‘Just go for it.’….It feels so good. I’ve watched her perform since I was a kid. I’ve always looked
up to her. It means so much to have her blessing and her excitement.”

The video already has that country feeling… just substitute some banjos in place of the synth and there you go. Very true, very true. I like that idea.
Your mom released an album in 1989 calledPia Z. The final song on that was called “Kady.” Will you please share your back story on this? That song… I was so excited because my brother,
Christopher… he didn’t have a song. I was younger and when you’re young, your sibling is your “punching bag” a little bit. So, I was always like, “I got a song and you didn’t!” But, I always felt very proud of that song. I have a little part in the middle where I say something like, “Can you see the angels, mommy? Can you see them?” It’s actually a funny story. They kept me in the studio
and they said, “We need that line. Say it again. Say it again.” I’m like, “I have to go to the bathroom.” They said, “No Kady! We need it again. Do it again.” Finally, I actu- ally went… I had an accident in my pants in the studio! (Laughter) I know that’s probably too much informa- tion but I was like, 3-years old. I heard the story and thought it was really sad and cute. That song always reminds me of that. That’s hilarious. What good and solid advice has your mom given you about show business and the music industry, as you embark on your debut and all that’s involved with it? She has always been very supportive. She’s always
said, “Just go for it.” She loves the EP and she’s been great. She just came to one of my shows and she was so proud. It feels so good. I’ve watched her perform since I was a kid. I’ve always looked up to her. It means so much
to have her blessing and her excitement. Definitely, that’s a good thing to have. What have been some of your emotions doing the new material on stage? So excited… I was trying to figure out how to do the
songs live and keep the excitement and freshness. That’s been kind of a little journey but I have an amaz- ing band and the songs sound so good. Sometimes, you hear a song that you’re used to listening to on an album and it’s live and you’re, “Well, I like it but it’s not like the record.” All the songs live are like the record so it’s really nice. That’s great. Hopefully you will make a stop in San Diego dur- ing the summer. Definitely. We’re working on it.
Finally, I read that the song “Fun” is a dish at an ex-girlfriend or a guy who was your best friend? No, she was an ex-friend but it was a girl. She was my
best friend. Does she have any idea? I mean one of the lyrics on that is “I hate your face.” (Laughter) Listen. I was just having a bad day. Actu-
ally, she and I are friends again. She doesn’t know. It’s a little awkward. We’re not sure what to do about that. It was unexpected that we’re friends again. But, I’m really happy and she has… a good sense of humor. Oh cool. I was just thinking maybe you just had a bad hair day or something. You had to get it out by writing that song. (More laughter) Yeah, I totally had a bad hair day.
Oh, it’s been fun and great music. Thanks so much, Bill.
