Cellist and composer Zoë Keating is known for both her use of technology - which she uses to sample her cello onstage - and for her grassroots, label-less approach to her career, which has resulted in the sale of over 40,000 copies of her self-released albums.

Born in Canada and classically trained from the age of eight, Zoë spent her 20's working at software startups while moonlighting as a cellist in rock bands. She has worked with a wide variety of artists, including WNYC Radiolab, Mark Isham, Pomplamoose, Tears for Fears, Amanda Palmer, Imogen Heap, DJ Shadow, John Vanderslice and Rasputina.

Zoë is a governor of the San Francisco chapter of the Recording Academy, sits on the board of CASH Music and was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.
