ZOLITA

Zolita is an rising Alternative Pop Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and filmmaker.

Zolita has built her career on duality: softness and control, fantasy and confession, intimacy and spectacle. Across the past decade, the Los Angeles-based artist has emerged as one of pop’s most distinct independent voices, recognized not only for her music, but for the fully realized worlds she creates around it. A singer, songwriter, and self-directed visual storyteller, she approaches music as an immersive experience. Every project unfolds like a narrative, every song feels cinematic, and each era marks a deliberate evolution.

Raised between both coasts, Zolita first connected to music through bluegrass guitar while simultaneously developing a deep fascination with film and visual storytelling. That intersection became central to her artistic identity. While studying at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she began shaping her music through a cinematic lens, treating songs as narrative extensions rather than isolated moments.

From the outset, Zolita has maintained a rare level of creative control. She first gained attention through self-directed releases that paired emotional immediacy with striking visuals while carving out space for underrepresented perspectives in pop. Centering queer relationships without compromise, her work presents them as messy, vulnerable, and fully realized.

Her work explicitly centers queer relationships and femininity, striving to create the LGBTQ+ pop anthems and representation she felt were missing during her childhood.

Early projects like Immaculate Conception and Sappho introduced a world rooted in femininity, mythology, and reclamation, while Evil Angel expanded that vision into darker, more cinematic territory. With her 2024 album Queen of Hearts, she leaned further into diaristic songwriting that balanced vulnerability with camp. The depth of her artistic vision has earned recognition from tastemakers including PAPER, V Magazine, DAZED, and Rolling Stone.

Alongside her streaming success and devoted online fanbase, Zolita has built a formidable live presence. She’s sold out iconic venues like Bowery Ballroom and The Troubadour, performed at major festivals including Governors Ball and Boston Calling, and is set to take the stage at All Things Go DC this summer.

Zolita kicks off a bold new era with her latest single, “Hell’s Belles.” Blending country-inspired textures with her signature pop sensibility and cinematic edge, the track signals a new chapter defined by contrast and self-exploration.

“Hell’s Belles” is a vibrant, playful, and deeply self-aware track that leans fully into Zolita’s identity as a storyteller unafraid of contradiction. “Written with my friend and artist Gatlin, this is the song that inspired the theme and sound of my next project,” Zolita reveals. “It’s a sapphic take on the ultimate bro country song, ‘Boys Round Here’ and is an ode to the all the southern bad girls I’ve fallen for over the years,”

“The ‘Hell’s Belles’ video was inspired by the six years I spent inside a kundalini yoga cult,” Zolita reveals. “It’s my way of processing the experience through humor, fantasy, and pop spectacle.” Alongside the official video, Zolita will also release a series of extended dialogue scenes and a mockumentary-style mini-series expanding on the cult’s world.

The “Hell’s Belles” mockumentary mini-series is a satirical, true-crime-style video project created by Zolita to expand the fictional universe of her country-pop single, “Hell’s Belles”. Rather than just releasing a standalone music video, she built an entire narrative world across her social platforms (like TikTok and Instagram) and YouTube.

The series mimics a sensationalist true-crime documentary looking back at the fictional “Belladonna Ranch for Women” in the deep American South.

The Set-Up: The ranch was originally a strict reform camp where husbands sent their rebellious or hitchhiking wives.
The Takeover: A charismatic leader named Hell (played by actress Tatiana Ringsby) takes over the facility and transforms it into a joyous, all-female lesbian cult called “Hell’s Belles”.
The Investigation: Zolita plays an undercover private detective sent to investigate the ranch, only to find the girls blissfully “brain-dirty” (rather than brainwashed) and entirely infatuated with Hell.
To bring the series to life, Zolita cast a prominent lineup of LGBTQ+ influencers and creators to play the cult members:
- Georgia Bridgers as Peach
- Kyra Green as Tiffany
- Becky Missal as Maryjo
- Lauren Payton as Jessica
- Alyssa Eells as Kitty
- Sierra Fujita as Missie
