Born in Jerusalem and raised in New York City, ZOHARA’s been writing and singing from the age of eight, alone in her bedroom with a journal and a guitar. By 18, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue music full-time — a leap that led to her breakthrough when the first song she ever wrote and released professionally, “Remember” with Gryffin (97M+ Spotify streams), became a global dance hit, reaching #1 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart and #1 on SiriusXM BPM’s year-end chart, and launching her first-ever live performance on the Coachella stage in 2019.
Renowned for her once-in-a-lifetime voice, soaring emotional melodies, and raw, moment-defining lyrics, ZOHARA has become a magnet for top DJs seeking records that hit both the heart and the mainstage. She is also featured on other massive dance releases including “Water (feat. ZOHARA)” with KREAM (≈ 51.4M+ streams), “Out of My Mind” with Gryffin (≈ 8.0M+ streams), and “WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT (feat. ZOHARA)” with Gryffin (≈ 1.7M+ streams), cementing her global streaming presence.
She has performed on the main stages of ULTRA Music Festival (2024) and EDC Las Vegas in front of 80,000+ fans, as well as at Red Rocks, Brooklyn Mirage, and Outside Lands & more. In the studio, she is an active songwriter who has collaborated in sessions with artists including David Guetta, Madison Beer, Oliver Heldens, Ally Brooke, Noa Kirel, and Eden Golan, and written alongside elite songwriters Ashley Gorley, Sophie Simmons, No/Me, Solly, Jake Torrey, David Brook, Alma Goodman, and SermStyle.
With over 500,000 monthly Spotify listeners and counting, ZOHARA enters 2026 with major momentum, launching the year with a highly anticipated collaboration with SLANDER and NGHTMRE, widely expected to be a major hit in the dance and festival space.
