Artist Spotlight: Zia Victoria
New York-born, Nashville-based artist Zia Victoria blends intimate storytelling with cinematic production to create emotionally charged alt-pop. A singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Zia has been honing her craft from an early age. She signed with Warner Chappell Music at just 16 and has since continued to develop a sound and creative identity of her own. Along the way, she performed on Today at 11 and opened for Seal during his 2023 European tour.
Her latest single, “free spirit,” released October 30, marks a fresh start and introduces listeners to her Victorian-inspired creative world. Drawing inspiration from the fight for female freedom in the 1880’s, the track explores the expectations placed on women, the weight of societal judgment, and the importance of embracing your authentic self.
For Zia, the song also touches on the complicated relationship between faith, love, and judgment, challenging the idea that condemnation should never come at the expense of acceptance. Through its storytelling and visual direction, “free spirit” encourages listeners to move beyond the expectations of others and find the courage to live on their own terms.
With a distinctive creative vision and a growing audience across social media, Zia Victoria continues to push the boundaries of her artistry, creating music and visuals that encourage listeners to embrace every part of who they are.
