In the picturesque landscapes of Southampton and Dorset, England, a young girl named ZOÈ found herself constantly on the move. Each relocation, while painting her childhood with diverse experiences, also sowed seeds of unrest within her. This nomadic lifestyle left ZOÈ grappling with a fragmented sense of identity, culminating in a tumultuous adolescence marked by destructive behaviors as she sought solace in drugs and alcohol to numb her anxieties and unresolved emotions.
However, life’s unpredictable trajectory eventually led ZOÈ to Dubai, where she embarked on an entrepreneurial venture in the world of fashion. Her creations – beautiful abayas that married traditional elegance with modern sensibilities – earned her the honor of opening Arabic Fashion Week. It was during this chapter that fate intervened through a horse-riding accident, steering her towards Kundalini yoga. This encounter was not merely an introduction to a new form of physical exercise; it was the beacon guiding her back home to England and towards an internal metamorphosis.
As ZOÈ delved deeper into the practice of Kundalini yoga, she unearthed a powerful tool for self-expression and healing – singing mantras. This discovery was transformative, allowing her voice to emerge not just in the literal sense but also in finding her true calling. Compelled by this passion, ZOÈ recorded “Long Time Sun,” a closing mantra for her yoga classes that would also herald the beginning of her musical journey.
ZOÈ’s music is a reflection of her life’s voyage – from turmoil to tranquility. Drawing from personal experiences marked by pain and healing, her songs resonate with truth and inspiration. They are an invitation to listeners to find solace and strength within themselves, echoing the transformative power of music intertwined with spirituality.
In creating music that seeks not only to entertain but to uplift and heal, ZOÈ has turned life’s adversities into creative fuel. Her latest release “Time To Be Free,” out on the 5th July, encapsulates this message beautifully – urging listeners towards liberation from their own confines.
Residing now in Oxfordshire as both an artiste and a mother, ZOÈ continues on her mission to inspire through melody and mantra. Through social media platforms like Instagram and streaming services such as Spotify, she connects with audiences worldwide sharing snippets of life’s symphony composed of highs and lows all woven into captivating soundscapes.
