Young R&B Singer With An Old Soul
Born in the Eastern Hills of Kentucky, Zoë came into this world singing. Her parents Randy Leunissen and Colleen Short would hear her humming as an infant and often at times she would sing herself to sleep. Her step father Jack Short came into her life at age 6 and has always been an encouragement to her. Zoë moved from Greenup county, Kentucky at the age of six with her mother Colleen and older brother Shelby to Boyd County, Kentucky (Ashland) which has been her home town for many years. When Zoë began middle school, she joined the choir where she excelled at the age of 12 years old. She entered a local “Apollo” competition and won first place in her age division. After that she entered many talent competitions. She would also sing at a bar & grill weekly. While in the eighth grade she was asked to perform at the beta club convention in Louisville, Kentucky. When she entered High School, she joined advanced choir where she learned to sing in German and Spanish. Zoë also sings yearly in her school’s talent show. During the summer of 2018 she signed on with Tabletop Records/White Lion Audio. Zoë has been in the studio recording for several months, and her first single is slated for release March 1st, 2019. When she is not singing, she coaches the Sparkles cheer team. Zoë is a varsity cheerleader and has been in cheer for 12 years. She is also a teen model for Lara’s Bridal.
