ZOYA

There’s likley a spectrum of reasons why artists create albums, but apparnetly ZOYA never set out to make one in the first place. It began with what is now ‘Eternity’s penultimate track, ‘When Heaven Calls’, a piece she wrote in the aftermath of the most tragic of circumstances three years ago. 

‘Heaven’ became the first in a track series, which then bloomed organically into what she’s now released; the young Bulgarian DJ/producer’s debut LP.    

ZOYA: “In 2021, I lost my mother to Covid. It happened very suddenly, and it brought into perspective just how short and transient everything is. My grief was so great that nothing made sense anymore. I found solace only in music - it saved me! I created the first track of the following series, titled ‘When Heaven Calls’, dedicated to mom. My inspiration grew from that piece of music into a full album. Each track on it carries its own story and individual emotional thread, creating a tapestry of my journey through grief and healing.”

Her album release brings to a head the most transformative year in her career. In the form of ‘In Search Of Sunrise 20’, it saw her mix her first music compilation (which also became her debut vinyl release), while playing in a host of new cities and countries, and remixing for artists like Markus Schulz. 

‘Eternity’ is out now on Black Hole Recordings.
