Zoé Basha is a musician, composer and carpenter, of French-American origins. Drawing from her background as a traditional singer influenced and inspired by the multiple cultures embedded in her sound, Zoé Basha blends jazz blues with Appalachian, Occitan and Irish traditional singing.
Performances are an ensemble of traditional songs and original compositions: instruments toying with each other and voices booming with intimate and unexpected harmonies, wilderness and dynamic fervour.

After growing up between the U.S. and France, then studying as a vocalist at Berklee College of Music where she focused primarily on blues and jazz, Zoé moved to Ireland and fell into traditional singing in Dublin. In a milieu blending feminism, radical politics, queer theory and traditional music, she made her home.

From 2020 to 2023, Zoé was a member of vocal trio Rufous Nightjar. In 2023, Zoé was a Music Network RESONATE Residency recipient.

The debut album is coming in Spring 2025.
