Inspired by legends like Hayley Williams, Alicia Keys, Madonna, Donna Summer, and Teena Marie, she effortlessly bridges the gap between timeless influences and modern innovation. Refusing to be confined to a single genre, Zieta Eve explores a dynamic range of sounds, from R&B and Afro R&B to indie rock, rap, and pop. For Zieta Eve, music is not just a craft—it’s a journey of connection, growth, and self-expression.

Her journey in music spans seven years of creating, performing, and evolving, but her connection to music has been lifelong. Zieta Eve has never shied away from challenging expectations, and her body of work reflects her relentless passion and creative fearlessness.

Zieta Eve’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. She’s shared stages with some of the industry’s most iconic names, including Remy Ma, The Lox, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, and more during Pretty Lou’s 3rd Annual Charity Concert. Her electrifying performances have also graced Bronx Pride twice, amplifying messages of love and inclusivity. Beyond live shows, she’s made waves in the studio with a hit Gauracha track in collaboration with DJ Pereira and showcased her versatility by winning the 5BORO Showcase. Even local recognition like being named “Artist of the Week” by Saucey Pizza in Long Island City reflects the buzz surrounding her artistry.

For Zieta Eve, motherhood became the turning point in her artistry. Her upcoming project, “Love Is… V2,” is the continuation of her debut EP, “Love Is…,” and it represents her newfound confidence, personal growth, and understanding of love. Reflecting on her journey, she shares, “The irony of dropping an EP called ‘Love Is…’ while simultaneously beginning my journey of learning what that is for myself is just perfect. My journey now understands love through motherhood as well as self-love. This is the most I’ve ever accepted myself as I am, so this project has no essence of second-guessing. It’s me in all forms—completely loved and seen by myself as my biggest critic.”

This newfound self-assurance has allowed Zieta Eve to embrace every part of herself—the vulnerable, the strong, the loving, and the unapologetically real. Her music reflects her truth, inviting listeners to connect deeply with their own stories of love, resilience, and transformation.

Looking ahead to 2025, she plans to bring her vision to life with an array of creative projects. Fans can expect captivating visuals that showcase her talents in acting, dancing, and choreography, as well as intimate live productions that weave storytelling into her music. Beyond her music, Zieta Eve aims to expand her creative impact through photography, using her platform to empower women and fellow artists to build confidence and express themselves freely.

The artist attributes much of her inspiration to her 2-year-old son, Anthony Ruiz Jr., who she credits as the driving force behind her most recent work.

Zieta Eve also extends her gratitude to SwagStudios, the birthplace of “Love Is…”, and to Karel and Nicole Rogers for taking her live performances to the next level. She credits her parents for their unwavering belief in her talent, always reminding her that every song she creates is a hit.

But what truly sets Zieta Eve apart from other artists is her unapologetic authenticity. She embraces everything that makes her unique: “What sets me apart from other artists is simple: I am who I am, and that is ‘too much,’ ‘too sensitive,’ ‘too understanding’—and I claim it all. The good, the bad, and I write about it. I live it. I’m here for the music as well as true human connection. Anyone can connect to me. It’s like being both a beautiful piece of art and a blank canvas at the same time.”

With a career rooted in self-discovery, resilience, and human connection, Zieta Eve proves that the most powerful art comes from being unapologetically yourself. From her powerful performances to her heartfelt music, Zieta Eve’s journey is just beginning, and her fans are invited along for the ride.

Stay tuned, because Zieta Eve is ready to redefine artistry in 2025 and beyond.

The city of Chicago is known for many things, but did you know that one of the richest men in the United States during the 1930’s and 40’s was a black man from Chicago, IL? Edward Jones, the descendant of slaves, became one of the richest men in the United States thanks to the Policy business, an illegal numbers game, that ultimately became the modern state lottery, now played by millions nationwide. It’s estimated that Edward Jones amassed a fortune of $25 million in the Policy business (numbers game),  and put money in the pockets of Black folks who didn’t have many economic opportunities.

Allen candidly talks about the influence of her HBCU roots, her historic mother and encourages people all over the world to dive into King of Kings.
