Influenced by boundary-pushing acts like Björk, Imogen Heap, and Chelsea Wolfe, she artfully incorporates elements of electronic, classical, and alternative music, creating a balance between memorable melodies and experimental sounds. Her contemplative lyrics frequently explore life, love, and death through the lens of her experiences as a woman and an immigrant.
Zaga is carving out her place in her local music scene, earning a nomination for “Best of Kelowna 2024” in the categories of “Best Local Musician” and “Overall YouTube Channel.” She has been featured in several Canadian outlets such as The Permanent Rain Press, Global Okanagan, Canadian Beats, and KelownaNow, among others. Additionally, she has been highlighted in underground music publications like ReGen Magazine and Women of Noise. Her 2023 single, Written in the Earth, co-produced with Alex DeGroot (Zola Jesus), received praise from The Permanent Rain Press and Canadian Beats. In the same year, she was featured in The Art of Pressing Play, a documentary series directed by Fatiha Rezwan. She has shared the stage with acts such as Lady Starlight, Longwalkshortdock, Luke Wallace, Kris Anders, and Down The Lees.
