ZOLA SIMONE

Self-expression is integral to how Zola Simone navigates the world. She has always made it a point to be nothing but herself. She first entered the labyrinth of creative expression through poetry, and by the age of eight, she had turned her poetry into her first song. Since then, Simone has worked tirelessly to create a space for herself in the ever-changing music industry.

After releasing her first single, “Real to You” at thirteen years old, she has released ten singles, two EPs, and one album titled Now You See Me, which has since surpassed well over 1.5 million streams. “Easy,” which was originally released as a single before finding its home on her 2021 album, not only won Song of the Year at the Boston Music Awards but was featured in the series finale of the Netflix original series, Atypical.

Her latest release, an EP titled Flower, pays homage to the cycle of love and its different stages, and highlights her growth as an artist. Simone is currently living in New York City, attending NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.
