Zoe's Early Life and Music

Zoe Wees grew up in Hamburg, a city in Germany. When she was younger, she had a health condition called benign rolandic epilepsy. This experience sometimes made her feel alone or like she wasn't in control.

Zoe has shared how this challenge made her stronger. She said, "The sickness was stronger than me, and left scars that have become part of my life. Accepting them has taken so much time, but they make me what I am today: a fighter."

Her Unique Sound

People describe Zoe's music as "raw" and "deeply emotional." Her voice is very special, able to go from a low, raspy sound to incredibly powerful, high notes. Zoe often plays the piano or guitar when she creates her music. She went to school at Grund- und Stadtteilschule Alter Teichweg in Dulsberg.
