A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Zadie Belfer-Shevett began their musical journey as a singer-songwriter in central Massachusetts, inspired by artists like Nick Drake, Pinegrove and Fleet Foxes. After many years of acoustic performances, Zadie began to blend their wistful melodies and vulnerable ballads with a newfound fascination for sampling, audio synthesis and shuffling house grooves.
In 2020, Zadie created the website zbs.fm as a simple platform for sharing audio among friends, describing the project as an “abstract radio station”. As of 2024, Zadie has uploaded over 300 hours of deeply personal electronic music to the repository and adopted zbs.fm as their artist name.
The first zbs.fm album was released in September 2023. Interstate is 92-minute collection of raw, nocturnal techno, described as “minimal techno sessions for your 2am drive home.” The album was an online success, with a physical release and merch slated for early 2024.
Today, Zadie performs a captivating and dynamic blend of downtempo electronica, house, techno, and breakbeats - what Tyler Etters of Klang Magazine describes as “earnest electronica straight from the soul.”

"zbs.fm performances captivate and make your body move with a unique blend of pulsing synths and driving beats. Their set is dynamic - a narrative journey that everyone deserves to experience."
