Stereo Embers The Podcast 0428: Zoe Ko

“Drop The Man”

Persona is easy if you’re an artist that doesn’t perform under your own name. The separation there is pretty simple and it’s easy to keep the character’s life out of yours.
But what if the character has the same name? I’m talking today or course, about Zoe Ko, whose Zoe Ko persona happens to share the name with the real Zoe Ko.
You can see how this can lead to some confusion for the artist, but for Zoe Ko, she’s got a handle on it, thank you very much. It wasn’t always that way, but recently, the New York
singer/songwriter and dancer realized that her on-stage persona may have some things in common with her besides just sharing a name, but they are not the same person. As soon as
this dawned on her, the persona got wilder, more exaggerated, more fun. With the freedom to embellish her with costumes, an attitude and a larger than life confidence, Zoe Ko
found this artistic liberation–well, liberating. But it also allowed her to keep things separate. So what of Zoe Ko the persona? Well, she’s a towering presence who’s unafraid,
empowered and dominating She’s tons of fun. And Zoe Ko, the real person is, too. But she can be introspective and internal and probably has the same worries and fears you have. Why?
Because she’s a real person. Zoe Ko the artist is the creative release for Zoe Ko the person. Her new EP Not UR Girlfriend is a lashing and percussive blast of buoyant club anthems that have equal parts muscle and pure pop swagger.
Let’s meet her, shall we?
