zzzahara is a US singer songwriter, born and raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles to Mexican & Filipino parents and previously part of The Simps duo alongside Eyedress.

zzzahara’s music wades into the deep waters of love, lust, and self-discovery in a part of the world where artifice and authenticity co-exist. Emerging from the heart of LA’s alternative music scene, their sound is raw in feeling and rebellious by nature. Their 2022 debut album, Liminal Spaces, chronicles a coming-of-age in Highland Park, following painful childhood memories through to late-night, live-fast coping mechanisms, and the changes the neighbourhood has endured over the same period of time. Their 2023 follow-up, Tender, marked a period of slowing down, looking inward, and embracing a softer side of being.

Latest release 'Spiral Your Way Out' (2025) marks another sonic evolution as much as an emotional one. Zzzahara’s songs have always come wrapped in a warm glow that reflects how they were written–namely at home in their bedroom. That glow remains on‘Spiral Your Way Out’, but it also packs an ambitious streak and a gutsy punch. Taking a more collaborative approach than usual, Zzzahara worked with a range of producers including Jorge Elbrecht (Japanese Breakfast, No Joy, Sky Ferreira), Sarah Tudzin (boygenius / Cloud Nothings / The Armed), former Ducktails guitarist Alex Craig (Jelani Aryeh / re6ce)and Halsey tour drummer Franco Reid, who helped harness their intimate style of writing and blow it up into something more panoptic.“
