ABOUT THE ARTIST

Based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Zoe Scott is an indie folk artist whose music plays on the alchemy of vulnerability and power through cinematic storytelling. Her sound moves between intimate and expansive; weaving ethereal harmonies, organic textures, and emotional honesty into lyrics that feel both grounded and transcendent.

Drawing from her travels and most recent creative studies at Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa – Massey University, Zoe crafts music that explores the reclamation of shame, feminine lust, love and violence. Her work resonates with those drawn to emotional vulnerability and atmospheric soundscapes — songs that feel like confession and incantation all at once.

NEWS FROM THE ARTIST

Recently Zoe, has begun the rollout for her debut EP titled ‘Homecoming’, where she has released two singles and accompanying music videos. The first single titled ‘Burn The Witch’ is an ode to femme power and resilience; and how the many archetypes of the feminine have been shamed into silence and submission by the systems that be. The following single ‘Shame’ is a stark reckoning with sexual abuse and the isolating aftermath that follows. It speaks to the secondary trauma of having no support; of having to become your own witness, your own comfort, your own proof that it happened.
Both works gained a great response from Zoe’s audience, and helped her secure upcoming APRA mentorship with Gussie Larkin from Mermaidens and Earth Tongue
