Diva Zappa

Diva Zappa (born July 30, 1979) is an American artist and actress who has also recorded a one-off comedy single. She is the youngest child of musician Frank Zappa and wife Gail Zappa.

Personal life Born on 30 July 1979, Zappa won an award at age 12 in a poster contest to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect.

Zappa's father, Frank, died in 1993. Following the death of her mother, Gail, in October 2015, Zappa and her brother Ahmet were awarded control of the Zappa Family Trust with shares of 30% each, while Moon and Dweezil were given smaller shares of 20% each. As beneficiaries only, Moon and Dweezil will not receive distributions from the trust until it is profitable per the trust agreement; in 2016, it was still in debt and they must seek permission from Ahmet, the trustee, to earn money with their father's music or from merchandise bearing his name. In a 2016 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Zappa said her primary role in the trust is to be present when her father's work is highlighted.

Career In 1999, Zappa released a comedy single called "When the Ball Drops" about her "hunt for someone to make out with on the Millennium". Tipper Gore played drums on the recording

Since 2002, Zappa has run her own website/business called "Hand Made Beauty" where she sells her own self-designed and made clothing. The clothing is primarily knitted or crocheted, and consists of hats, ponchos and skirts. A percentage of all sales are donated to the Creative Visions Foundation. She does not plan her work, preferring instead to work in a spontaneous manner. The exhibition featured an embroidered photograph of her brother Dweezil playing guitar.
