Zoé is a versatile singer-songwriter who enjoys changing up her musical styles and has maintained her enthusiasm for experimenting with music.
It all started with the dream of being able to play the guitar. Step by step, through self-study and many coaching sessions with professionals and talented fellow artists, she reached a performance-ready level at the age of 14. Starting on her father’s nylon-stringed classical guitar, she received her first own steel-string acoustic guitar at the age of 16 from a music store in Gummersbach.
Zoé was born in the "City in the green" and grew up in Nümbrecht and Waldbröl. At 14, she founded her first band, "Living Water," and the music duo "JA." with a long-time
friend. During her school years, she organized several concerts with her music teacher, Thomas Weiß, as the head girl. A few years after finishing school and her vocational training, she
produced her debut studio album titled "War of Feelings" in 1998 with him. Other instruments caught her interest, and she began learning to play drums, bass, piano, electric piano, ukulele, and just for fun, even violin at the late age of 50.

In her mid-20s, Zoé attracted audiences of up to 20 000 people to live concerts and traveled to America for a small club tour with her first manager, sponsor, and artist friend Holger Haumann, along with his family. The artistic design of the booklet for her debut album was a collaborative effort between Holger and Zoé. Unfortunately, the inventor and namesake of her stage name passed away very early, in his mid-40s.
Zoé, meaning "LIFE" in translation, initially resisted adopting a stage name and found the idea of receiving a name from someone else to be nonsensical. However, with the meaning, the soft pronunciation, and the accent on the 'e,' Anke Kristine Schlösser and her third name became inseparable. For this reason, she had her stage name immediately added to her identity card.
In 2001, Anke Kristine Zoé met her husband, a writer, Christian Mörsch, and shifted all priorities of becoming a successful musician a bit into the background. Family is a gift and an adventure, which she welcomed into her life at what was, for her, the perfect time. Zoé's brave leap into married life is described in the song "Lass uns keine Zeit verlier’n" ("Let’s Not Waste Any Time"). With another "music friend" and professional drummer Marcel Weisheit and the financial support of her husband, a so-called "low-budget production" was created in Cologne with and by "sound expert" Piid Plötzer. For additional musical input her longtime friend Alexander Sylvester Hertel contributed his creativity to some guitar parts, as well as his artistic know how for the first logo and in the design of the booklet.
Zoé worked with her own vocal students, placing great emphasis on ensuring that every instrument could be heard. For the final bass recordings, she enlisted Volker Vaessen, who has worked with Wolf Mahn among others. Her first "studio live" album, "Wichtig" ("Important"), was released in 2010.

In 2008, along with her colleague and friend Marcel Weisheit, Zoé founded her own music school, "Music-Institution," in Wuppertal. In 2024, they mutually decided to close the school to fully dedicate themselves once again to their original musical work. Back to the stage, back to live performance, back to producing music.
In 2021, Zoé discovered Music-Hub (https://www.music-hub.com/) and began releasing
her songs as single tracks on all streaming platforms. Shortly after the pandemic, she relaunched with a new logo, an "artist brand," and a new website—both designed by Baramu-Design—thanks to a GEMA scholarship.
