Inspired by turn of millennium dance music and art rock icons Thom Yorke, Bjork, and Burial, she weaves together broken rhythms, driving bass and ethereal vocals into the soundtrack of a semi-fictional apocalyptic world. Her avant pop anthems carry the duality of disillusionment and hope felt deeply by her communities in Berlin, New York, and Austin.

​

Van Zandt grew up in Texas where her musical experience ranged from classical piano to psyche drumming in Austin. She moved to Brooklyn in 2016 where she played in jazz, funk, and post-rock projects until the pandemic hit New York, breaking up her bands. To adapt to music making in isolation, Van Zandt turned to electronic songwriting, distorting her drum recordings and soulful vocals into songs at the intersection of annihilation and beauty. Punk undertones drive her writing and performances. Her early shows transformed DIY venues and parties into immersive, cyber-noir spectacles - her partner’s synchronized visuals dancing on the walls behind her. Drawn by the dance culture of Berlin, she moved in 2020 to begin recording her solo project.

Recently featured on Soundcloud's Sound of Berlin playlist, her debut single and music video "hurt.heal" is a testament to the healing power of the dance floor, produced and recorded at Funkhaus. Her voice caught the attention of DJ Philippa and was featured on disco single “Slow it down” released on Freerange Records. She has since been collaborating with friend and co-producer Eric Baldwin (Cocktail Party Effect), known for both stirring soundtrack design and UK bass and IDM releases. She emerges from the studio with a meticulously crafted, cinematic debut album. 

She is a cofounder and resident of the ORA collective for electronic music producers and vocalists.
