Born and raised in the backwoods of Madison, Wisconsin, Nika Roza Danilova’s musical career began at the age of 10, when she studied opera and applied to New York’s prestigious Juilliard School. Her application was denied, but when Danilova reinvented herself as Zola Jesus in high school and started to record songs in her bedroom, that voice re-emerged. She went on to complete high school in three years and is set to graduate from university with a double major in French and philosophy in the same amount of time.

Since her debut LP for Sacred Bones last summer, Zola Jesus’s profile has grown exponentially. Her video for “Clay Bodies” debuted on the Fader and her likeness was plastered all over the Internet. The Spoils made dozens of yearend lists including: The Wire, Pitchfork, The Fader, and Dusted.

“As her voice warps and wavers over antagonistic beats, the music creates a grey zone where masculine and feminine, dark and light elements crash together.”
THE FADER

“What transpires tonight is religious, ethereal and transcendent - be not mistaken, this is a white hot star in the making.”
NME

“No matter what kind of music she makes, Danilova is blessed with a bellow that defies genre. Whether creaking or soaring, Danilova’s voice transmits with a directness that easily cuts through the layers of lo-fi grime that usually surround it. You don’t hear singers like this every day, or even every year.”
PITCHFORK

“Huge, heart-wrenching songs powered forth on epic synth and crashing war drums.”
THE GUARDIAN
