Zito emerges on the scene as a defiant new voice where vulnerability meets technical mastery and pop-experimentalism. in her singing, Zito’s sultry vocals and delivery harken to something nostalgic and familiar; the electro- & synth-pop sensibilities of her songs share a synesthetic production approach with her listeners.

Hailing from York, in Central Pennsylvania, Zito began learning classical piano as a child, later studying voice and opera performance as a teenager. Rigorous training laid a foundation of form and discipline that stretched her dynamic vocal range, while outside of the classroom she soaked up classic rock and bluegrass blaring from the car radio, as well as jazz and country favored by her friends. These expansive influences coalesced into a unique vocal style that borrows from classical text painting and developed timbres charged with synesthesia and geographic significance.

Her debut single, “Slay,” is a dark, neo-soul track that explores the breadth of her vocal expression and the dark side of self-loathing and toxic love.
