Muriel Zoe’s creativity springs from a rare skill in two fields: she has not just a great musical but also an artistic talent which developed early and which have fed off each other since then. Muriel Zoe is today a freelance musician and painter as well as a teacher of painting and graphic art in Hamburg. Muriel Zoe was born in 1969 in Ludwigshafen. Part of her schooling was at an English boarding school in South India. Back in Germany, she began to play guitar at age 12 and wrote her first songs with English lyrics at 15.  

In 1988 she began to train as painter and engraver at the art school in Nurtingen in the Southern region of Baden-Wurttemberg and continued her education from 1990 at the technical university for design in Hamburg. Since 1994 she has exhibited in both group and solo shows.  In 1990 she began studies... https://www.actmusic.com/en/Artists/Muriel-Zoe/Red-And-Blue/Red-And-Blue-CD

That Muriel Zoe a highly original standard interpreter has been lost, it may remind you once again on the occasion of their new album. Their debut "Red And Blue" was brilliant eight years ago in this regard. But that is history. Since their last album "Flood" from Hamburg sings her own songs - and it was a right decision. With a small band of producer and multi-instrumentalist Stephan Gade plays a prominent role, Zoe manages to embed their songs in a coherent and transparent environment.Observations of nature ("Snow Covering Fields") and as personal as generally true stories ("Homesick") make "Birds And Dragons" to another album full of beautiful melodies in a simple but haunting sound - somewhere between pop, folk and melancholy, reminiscent of the early 1970s. As before, Zoe must not raise their voice to radiate authority.  http://www.jazzthing.de/review/muriel-zoe-birds-and-dragons/
