Zoe Keating is a one-woman orchestra. She uses a cello and a foot-controlled laptop to record layer upon layer of cello, creating intricate, haunting and compelling music.

Zoe is known for both her use of technology - which she uses to sample her cello onstage - and for her DIY ethic, which has resulted in the sale of over 45,000 copies of her self-released albums and a garnered a devoted social media following.

Zoe's grassroots, label-less approach has garnered her much public attention and press. She speaks regularly on artist-empowerment, sustainable careers and the concept of artist-as-entrepreneur and has been named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

Zoe spent much of 2011 touring across the world, young baby in tow, to support her latest album, Into the Trees, which spent 49 weeks on the Billboard classical charts, peaking at #7. Her first self-produced album One Cello x 16: Natoma spent time on iTunes as both No.1 on the classical chart and No.2 on the electronica chart and now both her albums are released in Australia through independent label Instrumental Recordings.

Over the years, Zoe has performed and recorded with a wide range of artists, including Imogen Heap, Amanda Palmer, Tears for Fears, DJ Shadow, John Vanderslice, Rasputina, Pomplamoose and Paolo Nutini. She is a regular collaborator with WNYC's Radiolab and is also known for her work in film and dance. Commissions include music for the San Francisco MOMA and soundtracks for the films Ghost Bird, The Devil's Chair and Frozen Angels.

As an avid appreciator of independent artistry and the innovative and fresh perspective, Zoe makes an effort to reach audiences wherever they are and her shows are inspiring, uplifting and truly out of this world and something not to be missed.

"...a distinctive mix of old and new -- layers of sound, that feel more like orchestrations than a solo instrument. " - National Public Radio

"Swoon-inducing. Like taking a triple-shot of Absinthe before stepping outside of the bar just in time to see the sun exploding." -SF Weekly

"... uses live looping to transform solo performances into multipart masterpieces." - Electronic Musician

"...sublime minimalist music with a pop sensibility" - San Francisco Weekly

"Keating's solo album, One Cello x 16, is elegantly haunting as it gracefully walks the line between ambient and neo-classical forms." - Portland Mercury
