MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Check out this incredible new song by ZØYA called It’s Alright! It’s quickly become one of my favorite releases. With a powerful voice and a huge, soaring chorus, it gives off serious Sia vibes. If you’re into emotionally charged anthems with big vocals, this one’s a must-listen!

ZØYA, born Zoya Naumchik in Pinsk, Belarus, immigrated to the U.S. at 11, settling in Columbus, Ohio, where she was raised in a Christian household. Her musical roots trace back to her early exposure to inspirational, worship, gospel, and jazz music, and she began writing songs and poems at age 6. She trained at the Columbus International Children’s Choir Academy and was classically trained on piano. At 13, she recorded her first worship album Shalom at her local church, followed by her second album Gratitude at 15, both featuring Russian worship covers infused with her authentic performance. Her cover of “Mama, Milaya Mama” gained over 165,000 views on YouTube. ZØYA, a songwriter and composer with over 50 songs to her name, has performed across the U.S., Canada, and Belarus, and in 2014 recorded singles like “No Need to Worry” and “God is God” in Minsk, Belarus. Her debut EP Veracious Heart (2017) includes tracks like “I Still Believe” and “Chaos in My Head,” reflecting her struggles as a teenager and promoting messages of faith. “I Still Believe” was streamed on 300+ U.S. college radio stations and was a Semi-Finalist in the 2016 Unsigned Only Music Competition. She headlined tours in 2017 and 2023, performing across the U.S. and UK, with her single “So Far Away” gaining viral success on TikTok and being used by major brands like Dove and Benefit Cosmetics. ZØYA, who remains passionate about social issues such as immigration and human trafficking, continues to blend her faith into her music while aiming to inspire and empower others through her performances and storytelling.
