Zoe Butler launched her career in 2022 as an Americana singer-songwriter. She was raised in Portsmouth, Rhode Island and graduated from Brown University with a degree in economics and Africana Studies. The 24-year-old artist moved to Nashville in 2020 to pursue music and teach 9th grade math at a public high school. Fellow singer-songwriter, Ally Westover, connected Butler to producer Mike Fahey.
Butler’s priority as a songwriter has always been to tell meaningful stories. Storytellers that have influenced her lyrics include Caitlyn Smith, James Taylor, Joy Oladokun, Edna St. Vincent Millay, W.H. Auden, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. She has been writing songs and short stories since elementary school and in 2017 she was recognized as a notable essay in the “Modern Love” College Essay Contest in the New York Times. Butler's debut EP, June, is her story of grief, friendship, anger and first loves.
