Zane Shihadeh is a jazz pianist, accompanist, and composer from Las Vegas, Nevada. He started learning piano at the age of seven but began taking his jazz and composition studies seriously at the age of 14 when he was admitted into the prestigious high school, Las Vegas Academy of the Arts. It was there that he was able to receive amazing opportunities such as playing alongside acclaimed drummer, Jeff Hamilton, and San Francisco based saxophonist, Jason Hainsworth, at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago, Illinois, in 2021, and play regularly at local Las Vegas jazz club, Vic’s Jazz Bistro. Now entering his third year of performance and classical composition, his university career has brought him an abundance of opportunities such as holding a residency as a solo pianist at local jazz club, The Jazz Bistro, composing music for a 30-minute play, and venturing to France to pursue research in classical ballet.
