About Zoe Wees

Zoe Wees grew up in Hamburg, a city in Germany. Her father is from Jamaica, and her mother is German. When she was younger, Zoe had a health condition called benign rolandic epilepsy. This condition sometimes made her feel left out or like she wasn't in control.

Zoe shared that this sickness was very strong. It left marks on her life. She said it took a long time to accept these marks. But she believes they helped make her who she is today: a fighter.

People describe Zoe's music as "raw" and "deeply emotional." Her voice can go from a low, rough sound to a very strong and high one. Zoe often plays the piano or guitar when she performs. She went to school at Grund- und Stadtteilschule Alter Teichweg in Dulsberg.

Zoe's Music Journey

Zoe Wees has been writing songs in English since she was a child. She started working on music more seriously as a teenager. Her teacher noticed her talent after a school concert and wanted to help her.

In 2017, Zoe joined a TV show called The Voice Kids. She was on singer Sasha's team. Zoe did well but was eliminated later in the competition.

On March 13, 2020, Zoe released her first song, "Control". This song is about feeling anxious and not being in control. It was inspired by her own experience with benign rolandic epilepsy. Zoe wrote the song to thank her primary school teacher. This teacher helped her a lot when she was a young girl.

In April 2021, Zoe released "Ghost." This song was part of her first collection of songs, called an EP, titled Golden Wings. The EP came out in May 2021. Zoe explained that "Ghost" is about letting someone get too close. Even if you know they might hurt you, you become open to them.

In January 2025, Zoe released "Traitor." This was her first new solo song in two years.
