A cellist since the age of eight, Zoë obtained a liberal arts degree from
Sarah Lawrence College and spent her 20's working at a software startup while
moonlighting as a cellist in rock bands. She eventually combined the cello and
the computer, developing her signature style of live-layered music while
improvising for late night crowds at her Francisco warehouse. In 2003 Zoë quit
her tech job to focus on making layered cello music.
Zoë's grassroots, label-less approach has garnered her much public
attention and press. She speaks regularly about artist-empowerment, has been
profiled on NPR's All Things Considered and named a Young Global Leader by the
World Economic Forum. She serves on the boards of the San Francisco chapter of
the Recording Academy, the Magik Magik Orchestra and CASH Music, a nonprofit
organization that builds open source digital tools for musicians and
labels.
As a cellist, Zoë has played with a wide range of artists, including Imogen
Heap, Amanda Palmer, Tears for Fears, DJ Shadow, Dan Hicks, Thomas Dolby, John
Vanderslice, Rasputina, Pomplamoose and Paolo Nutini. She has collaborated with
WNYC's Radiolab and lends her music regularly to film, tv, dance productions and
commercials.
