Zoë Badwi - The Artist / Writer / Actor / Model
Zoë Badwi is one of Australia's best kept secrets. Working in both the pop and club domain, she is a prolific writer and singer. With 2 top 10 Australian hits already under her belt (with pop act Sirens) lead singer of Black Dogs and an established acting and modeling career, It’s safe to say that Zoë is a busy girl! 'Release Me' is Zoë's first solo record in which she teamed up with double ARIA award winning outfit TV ROCK to co-produce the track. So happy with the result, the TV Rockers signed the record to their Bimbo Rock label and are currently working with Zoë on new material for her forthcoming releases. 'Release Me' is an out and out anthem, and with strong vocals and massive hooks, it raced straight to 1 on the Aria Club Charts and has stayed on the top spot for nearly 2 months! With the single being added to radio all over Australia, and included on some of the biggest compilation releases this year, it seems there really is no stopping Zoë Badwi!
