Biography
Zoë Starra is a boundary-pushing singer, songwriter, and independent producer from Toronto who fuses raw emotion with futuristic soundscapes. Classically trained in piano for over a decade, she transformed her classical foundation to build her own sonic universe—one track at a time.
Equipped with an MK3 and an unshakable DIY ethos, Zoë turns her bedroom studio into a sonic lab—engineering bold, genre-warping hybrids of pop, electronic, and alt-rock. Every beat and lyric is meticulously sculpted by her own hands, resulting in a sound that's as cutting-edge as it is unmistakably personal.
Her music channels the energy of artists like Grimes, Ashnikko, PVRIS, and Aurora, while telling stories rooted in personal adversity, resilience, and transformation. Each track feels like stepping into a post-apocalyptic dream—haunted by cybernetic ghosts, driven by rebellion, and glittering with emotion. Her debut album, Made of Steel (2021), isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a survival manual for navigating a world where humanity and machine collide.
Since then, Zoë has collaborated with genre-bending artists like Taabu, Jordan Schor, Lottoz, and Alex Exists, expanding her atmospheric palette and solidifying her place as a rising force in the alt-pop and electronic underground. Fiercely independent and unapologetically original, Zoë Starra is crafting the soundtrack to a future only she can imagine.
