Zoe Wees can steal the show, even with her mouth shut. The rising popstar saw her childhood idol Jessie J perform a party trick – belting out a massive melody without moving her lips – and was determined to try it for herself.
The 19-year-old singer has a fizzing, irresistible sense of humour, but behind her broad grin is a steely work ethic: in the studio, it’s serious. Born in Hamburg and raised by her mother, Zoe’s career so far has been shaped by the essential role that music plays in her life.
Her raw, powerful debut single “Control” confronts the emotional scars left by her epilepsy. One night before she was supposed to go into the studio, her anxiety peaked: “I was just really sad. I had something like five anxiety attacks. So, the next day, I said: I have to write about this. It was really hard, but music helped me to talk about it.”
Zoe’s follow-up single, “Girls Like Us”, is unmistakably her. Packed with coming-of-age sensibilities, such as finding acceptance and fighting her own insecurities, listeners will instantly find warmth and comfort to her vocals & reflective, heart-swelling lyrical content.
Unsurprisingly, she already has an unusually deep connection with her fans. “Sometimes people don’t have other people to listen to them, but I’m always here. I can help people with my music, it’s just the best feeling.”
