For Zoe Wees, music is more than just escapism and entertainment, it is the source of
much of her strength. While the 21-year-old Hamburg native didn’t grow-up in an
overtly musical household, she came to her favourite artists on her own, finding herself
drawn to the empowered female pop singers of her teenage years. It’s these sounds
that have influenced her unique strain of vulnerable, “dark pop” — which at the time of
writing, has garnered her over 3 billion global streams and has led to a series of
accolades, including her breakout single ‘Control’ reaching gold and platinum status
across Europe and the US.

For Zoe, writing and recording songs is her “Therapy,” so much so that she’s named her
debut album just that. She needs this form of therapy especially in difficult situations of
fear and insecurity. After each session, she sits in an old car seat and then reflects. It is
within this same routine the word ‘therapy’ took a lasting, special and musical meaning
for Zoe in a slew of impactful, emotional songs
