About Zevia

Growing up in Orlando, Florida, life wasn’t always easy for singing/songwriting sensation Zevia. The product of a Puerto Rican mother and an Iraqi father, Zevia found herself in a dearth of cultural diversity in Central Florida. Turning to music as an outlet, and inspired by artists like NF and Jessie Reyez, Zevia sings from an authentic place of pure honesty. Her presence on TikTok reached a fever pitch when Zevia cracked the one million mark in followers and crossed 26 million in likes. She persisted with her social media presence, ultimately meeting her manager Yawovy Nyavor who took Zevia under his wing as she pieced together her debut EP.

At the top of 2022, she independently released her debut EP we’re all sad here, galvanizing a fan base of admirers who collectively embraced the rising star’s brand of beautifully brutal honesty. The project was fueled by cuts like “if depression gets the best of me” and “life, i’m over you”—both cracking well over ten million streams on Spotify alone. Labels came calling, and by the Summer of 2022, she inked a deal with Columbia Records. The deluxe version of we’re all sad herecame equipped with the new single “why am i alive” and acoustic renditions of her previous hits exemplifying the many layers to Zevia’s vocals and instrumentation. A young heart with an old soul, Zevia is taking the world by storm and brings to the table an elevated level of emotional artistry. Her intoxicating vocals and clever wordplay undoubtedly will propel the 19-year-old Florida native to new heights.
