ABOUT ZOE WEES

Breakout star Zoe Wees has a knack for making her complex, emotional stories feel universally relatable. Her raw, powerful debut single “Control” amassed 2,5 billion streams and became a worldwide hit. It entered streaming- and radio charts across the globe, including top 20 at Pop radio in the US, and reached Gold- and Platinum status in more than 20 countries. “Girls Like Us”, Wees’ follow-up single, was highlighted in the New York Times Magazine tracing the lineage of “the sad banger,” and hailed by People as “a vulnerable pop anthem that pushed for togetherness and solidarity to girls around the world.” The also multi-platinum certified song reached #1 in Germany’s radio charts. She then released her debut EP "Golden Wings" which saw her songs gather a mass interest including Spotify’s Radar-, Apple’s UpNext- and YouTube’s Artist On The Rise program. She's featured on the likes of The Guardian, Forbes (30 Under 30), Gal Dem, Line Of Best Fit, and Clash whilst having cover stories written about herself on Notion, Euphoria, Hunger and Germany’s Glamour Magazine. Zoe has performed at the American Music Awards, "The Late Late Show with James Corden, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2021 and collaborated with top artists like 6LACK, Kygo, Felix Jaehn, Tom Walker and Calum Scott before finally releasing her Debut Album “Therapy” late 2023.

For the 21-year-old, writing and recording songs is her “Therapy”, so much so that she’s named her debut album just that. She needs this form of therapy especially in difficult situations of fear and insecurity. After each session, she sits in an old car seat and then reflects. It is within this same routine the word ‘therapy’ took a lasting, special and musical meaning for Zoe in a slew of impactful, emotional songs.
