⊹
ZORA is a dynamic 27-year-old Black trans and queer artist, producer, singer, and rapper whose sound blends her classical piano training, love for opera and musical theater, and deep-rooted passion for pop and hip-hop music. Drawing inspiration from icons like Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé, Prince, Janet Jackson, Kendrick Lamar, and SOPHIE, ZORA writes, produces, and records all of her own music, using instruments like piano, synths, and electric guitar to bring her bold vision to life. Having started her music journey at 14, she made waves with her SoundCloud-exclusive debut EP, Scene One, and released her critically acclaimed debut album, Z1, at 22. ZORA’s music spreads positivity and calls listeners to be unapologetically themselves.
