Taking inspiration from Vocaloid and alternative/rock idols, they’re excited to bring some edge to the Idol*USA stage!

Zoe

A Maryland native office worker and a dreamer who always had her head in the clouds, Zoe was sure that being an idol was something other people did, something she watched and enjoyed from afar. All that changed when she was exposed to the Kaigai idol scene at Otakon 2023. Making her performance debut at Idol*USA, this dreamer has finally descended from the clouds to sing for you! Set your penlights to light blue (or dark blue) and remember- do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part that cringes.
