Hailing from The City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia’s expansive music scene brought ZíA to where she is now. Born into a Russian family with a love for classic rock, blues, and jazz albums, ZíA was often found singing along and discovering her favorite sounds. Punk, alternative and metal tunes put her ear to the ground and sparked her passion for music. From the moment she came across Excision and Skrillex’s diverse catalogues, she knew she was hooked. ZíA delved deeper and deeper into the bass music community, finding artists such as Skream, Benga, Caspa, Rusko, Joker, Liquid Stranger, Zeds Dead and Ganja White Night. They were constantly in her headphones, and unbeknownst to her, shaping her future sound. ZíA’s passion for music motivated her to become more involved. She began working behind the scenes in the industry, and was lovingly nicknamed “tour mom.” Such proximity to the chaos of the spotlight inspired ZíA to tap into her creative side. She jumped in head first and hasn’t looked back since. In 2018, ZíA stepped behind the decks at Camp Bisco. She spent the summer smashing renegade sets and steadily winning over hearts with her signature dark and dynamic mixing. ZíA was happy to accompany Subtronics and Blunts & Blondes on their Up in Smoke tour, consistently saturating the crowd with wobbles and wubs. Her ultimate goal as an artist is to resonate with her fans and move them on the same level music has shaped her. ZíA has played prestigious festivals such as Electric Forest, Lost Lands, Moonrise, Hard Summer, Okeechobee and more, and has released music on major labels such as Bassrush and Deadbeats.
