Zingara

BIOGRAPHY

Gabrielle didn’t come to electronic music through the usual path of club nights and studio grind. Performing as Zingara, she has carved out a space in the bass scene where the heavy and the ethereal collide. Raised near Baltimore, she studied film before pivoting to music, bringing a visual storyteller’s sense of atmosphere into her productions. By the early 2020s, she was experimenting with live DJ sets and uploading singles that quickly marked her as one to watch in the American bass underground.

Her breakout moment arrived with singles like Space Candy and Astra, tracks that balanced playful, otherworldly melodies with the kind of sub frequencies designed to shake a festival floor. Those early releases earned her slots at regional events and caught the attention of promoters across the national circuit. By 2022 she was supporting bigger tours, her name appearing more frequently on festival flyers, and a devoted online following was forming around her dreamlike aesthetic.

In 2024, Zingara released The Code of Dreamz, her debut full-length album. Built from 12 tracks that move between meditative vocal passages and seismic bass drops, the record captured the duality at the heart of her music: moments of intimate vulnerability expanding into cathartic release. Collaborations with artists like Ruby Chase, Ujuu, and Elephant Heart added texture, while songs like I Am and Close Your Eyes became touchstones for her growing fanbase. Critics noted that the album was not just a collection of tracks but a cohesive narrative, a map of Zingara’s dream logic translated into sound.

Later that year she followed with For The Crystal Children, a four-song EP that doubled down on the spiritual motifs that animate her work. Featuring jazz trumpeter Maurice Brown and bass peer Steller, the project played like both a continuation and a refinement, integrating live instrumentation into her dense sound design. Its release coincided with a busy festival season where she hosted manifestation workshops alongside her sets, reinforcing her commitment to music as a tool for collective healing.

Zingara’s performances reflect the same philosophy. Her sets move between thunderous drops and sudden passages of calm, often paired with visuals steeped in cosmic and mystical imagery. What distinguishes her is not just technical skill or bass weight but an ability to invite audiences into a shared state of transcendence. For a scene often driven by raw energy, she brings a sense of intention and ritual.

Now firmly established on the touring circuit and with two major releases behind her, Zingara stands at a point where her vision is fully formed yet still expanding. She continues to push toward a style that is less about genre boundaries and more about building worlds—places where grief, hope, and transformation all find expression through rhythm and bass.
