Zola Jesus is the stage name of Nika Roza Danilova, a Russian-American singer/songwriter who combines industrial, classical, electronic, goth and experimental rock influences. Raised in the Wisconsin wilderness, Zola Jesus took an early interest in music. A classically trained opera singer with a penchant for noisy, avant-garde sounds, she launched her career with a series of lo-fi releases that pitted her soaring vocals against harsh industrial clatter and jittery synths. The signature Zola Jesus sound became more hi-fi as she began to explore her own skewed vision of pop music on releases like Stridulum, Valusia, and Conatus.
