Who am I?
Biography
Zoë Starra is a multifaceted singer, songwriter, and independent producer hailing from Toronto. With a foundation built on over a decade of piano lessons, Zoë transitioned from classical training to mastering music production in her intimate bedroom studio. Now a self-taught MK3 operator, she takes immense pride in producing all her music independently, seamlessly blending pop and electronic
alternative rock.
Drawing inspiration from her personal experiences and adversities, Zoë’s music is influenced by visionary artists like Grimes, Ashnikko, PVRIS, and Aurora. Her soundscapes transport listeners to a cyborg-inhabited, post- apocalyptic world, characterized by a neo-futuristic sound meticulously crafted into each song.
In August 2021, Zoë released her debut album, “Made of Steel,” which serves as the ultimate guide to surviving as a cybernetic organism in today’s anthropomorphic society. This innovative album set the stage for her unique artistic vision and established her as a notable figure in the music industry.
Zoë has also collaborated with various artists, including Taabu, Jordan Schor, and Alex Exists, further expanding her creative horizons.
In August 2024, Zoë will release her latest EP, “Cross Contamination,” featuring two experimental electronic tracks that showcase her evolving sound and innovative approach to music production. With this release, she continues to push the boundaries of her artistry, solidifying her place as a pioneering force in the music world.
