Growing up on stage, she honed her skills as a backing singer on tours with her mother and performed alongside her father in spectacular circus and theater shows.

Since then she has been invited to perform all over the world, both headlining and opening for renowned artists such as Sampa The Great, Omar Lyefook, Tayla Parx, Kota the friend and many more, and has collaborated with artists from all genres and generations.

In January 2022, K.ZIA released her debut album "Genesis", accompanied by a visually stunning universe. The album was streamed over 2.5 million times in just a few months and was praised by fans and press such as Rolling Stones, Elle and Vogue, cementing her status as a rising star.

In 2023, she entered the world of cinema with her first film appearance as the lead actress in "Les vengeances de Maitre Poutifard" alongside one of the most renowned French actors: Christian Clavier.
