As a producer ZoëXenia creates a hybrid of rolling bass, mysterious soundscapes and funked-up beats. As a singer she uses her voice not only as vocal, but instrument itself, keeping her firmly on the avante-garde tip. "I like to improvise and try things with my voice, it's an instrument I carry everywhere; like recording myself having the hiccups, and making some fine rhythms with it."
She made it to the Diesel-U-Music Benelux finals in 2003, was a selected finalist at Grote Prijs van Nederland in 2004 and now performs both as a vocalist and electronic live-act on parties and festivals throughout Europe
Her first EP was released on ArtMiniMal in Spring 2007, followed by a release on Organised Music and an invitation to play at WMC Miami. October 2007 she appeared on Connaisseur with the Sweet Dreams ep, a producers battle beween her and collegue Estroe. It became house tune of the month in Novembers issue of MixMag, got an excellent review in De:Bug and was played by artists like Tiefschwarz, Mike Monday, Shinedoe, Miss Jools, 3 Channels and Fabrice Lig.
In may her solo Uncovered ep came out on Connaisseur and she appeared on their Grand Cru 2008 with the track Forever, which was picked out as one of the highlights of the album in Mixmag's June 2008 issue. She recently signed up with Kosmo Recordings and is about to release new material soon!
Apart from producing, ZoëXenia also worked as a vocalist for other artists. Pacha Recordings invited her to come to Ibiza and record vocals for Richard Grey. The track Unchain it will be released on the 1st of December on Pacha Recordings. She also did vocals & lyrics for the track Dirty Games on Dub Taylor's Humatron album which just came out on Opossum Recordings.
Advancing and refining what electronic music can be, collaborating with different artists and life itself, are the inspiration for what ZoëXenia does. Equally important is how she brings that to the dancefloor. On stage she has remarkable presence. With her powerful, soulful voice, and her ability to produce sounds as if from another planet, she weaves together a hypnotic, ecstatic experience for the listener; an exchange of energy that dissolves boundaries, where music becomes a universal language.
ZoëXenia supports Dance4life, the organisation that devotes itself to inform youth about Aids and HIV prevention by hosting danceparties in more than 10 different countries throughout the world, raising money for the Aids foundation.
A highlight of 2006 was her performance for this foundation at Gelredome stadium, performing from a high pillar before the immense crowd drawn for the event.
She recorded a track with Jesse Voorn called SeeMe, which was the official anthem for the first SeeMe Music Conference in Sofia Bulgaria.
