ZORA is a dynamic 26-year-old black trans and queer artist, producer, singer, and rapper, whose sound is a fusion of soulful melodies, sharp lyricism, and genre-defying production. Drawing inspiration from icons like Beyoncé, Prince, Janet Jackson, Kendrick Lamar, and SOPHIE, ZORA crafts music that blends her classical piano training, love for opera and musical theater, and a deep-rooted passion for pop and hip hop music. Having started her music journey at 14, she quickly made waves with her debut Soundcloud-exclusive EP, “Scene One” at 15, and went on to release her critically acclaimed debut album, “Z1” at 22. A true multi-hyphenate, ZORA writes, produces, and records all of her own music, using instruments like piano, synths, and electric guitar to bring her bold vision to life. With a mission to spread positivity, freedom, and self-expression, ZORA’s music is both a celebration of individuality and a call for listeners to be unapologetically themselves.

SYM1, (pronounced sim-ONE or seh-MOAN) is a pop and euro/hard dance music producer and performer using a background in alternative subcultures to inspire a renaissance of the early 2000's rave/club scene.
