About Zuzu

Zuzu is a no-nonsense Scouse indie rocker who’s originally from Mossley Hill but now lives in Birkenhead after moving back up from oxfordshire a few years ago (her family moved down there when she was 12 years old.) She makes proper boss infectious tunes that blurs the lines between fuzzy indie rock and pop.

When asked about her unusual ‘stage name’ by The Line of Best Fit in a recent-ish interview, Zuzu playfully hit back with “It’s not a stage name! it’s me name. Me mum and dad have called me that since I was a baby. It’s a character from Wonderful Life – the black and white christmas Movie. And it’s not that unusual. There are loads of Zuzus around, you know. I get girls coming up to me after shows saying ‘I’m called Zuzu too.’

Zuzu got into music through her older brother, and listened to a variety of artists growing up. Her main influence was Blink-182, which she saw in concert at Manchester Arena with her dad and brother when she was just 10 years old. “And I was like… Shit. I wanna do this, I wanna be in a band.”

Zuzu is set to self-release her debut album Queensway Tunnel on November 12th 2021 via Planet Z Records.
