Zoé Basha

Zoé Basha is a musician, composer and carpenter based in Dublin, Ireland. Traveling by thumb, freight trains, and taking the scenic route with rust-bucket vans, Zoé Basha played music in the streets for years to sustain the journey. Of French and American origins but with some pretty persistent traveling shoes, she was pulled between Ireland and the traveling life for the last decade. Having recorded her first solo album with songs that tell the stories of these roamings - through adventures and musings of intimacy, sorrow, identity, celebrating the fleeting, and questioning the whole lot - she’ll be touring it throughout 2025, returning to the towns and cities of her travels. Releasing her debut album 'Gamble' in April, Basha blends folk, blues, americana, jazz, and Irish influences. 'Gamble' is an intimate exploration of identity, grief, the deconstructing of societal norms, and the complexities of human connection, all delivered with a mesmerising voice that echoes the vulnerability and depth of her diverse influences. Inspired by the greats of times passed, such as Billie Holiday, The Mills Brothers, Jimmie Rodgers, Joni Mitchell, Texas Gladden, Edith Piaf and The Steve Miller Band– as well as her peers in the Irish folk music scene, Zoé Basha savours the sounds of golden eras with contemporary nuance and shameless honesty.
