Her ability to fuse technical skill with pure feeling sets her apart, making every performance an unforgettable experience.

She isn’t just singing—she’s sharing her truth, leaving listeners moved, inspired, and deeply connected to the music.

ZURI is a songwriter, storyteller, producer, bassist, and vocalist from Atlanta, Georgia. Drawing inspiration from contemporary jazz, neo-soul, and R&B, her sound blends jazz harmony along with catchy and soulful melodies, influenced by artists like Moonchild, Robert Glasper, and Lalah Hathaway.

Her debut single, inside, released in 2024, merges modern jazz and neo-soul and has reached success across many streaming platforms, received Spotify playlist placement, and has increased social media engagement. In December 2024, she followed up with her second single, Her Too, a deeply emotive R&B track that explores the raw truth of love (or the lack of it), resonating with listeners on a personal level.
