The Most Important Thing For Us To

My Music Started As A Way To Break Through Weaknesses - Like Anxiety, Which Was Completely Taking Over My Whole Life, Where I Could Barely Function.

The Only Reason I Would Write A Break-up Song Is Because My Own Problem Of Allowing Myself To Relate To People.

I Started Performing Opera When I Was 10 Years Old. I Didn't Perform As Zola Jesus Until I Was Probably 18.

I Guess Something People Wouldn't Expect Me To Listen To Are Artists Like Alicia Keys. But She Is So Incredibly Talented. She Has This Huge Voice And Great Work Ethic, Which I Really Respect In An Artist. She Is Also Very Humble And Gracious And Devoted To Her Skill.

The Greatest Benefit Of Being A Solo Performer Is That It Is Seriously Frightening, But At The Same Time Very Empowering. It's Just You And The Audience. All The Weight Is On You To Deliver The Songs.
