Zéla isn’t just another name in the music industry — she’s an ACE. A Filipino-American singer, songwriter, rapper, and dancer who first made her mark in the USA, Zéla has been honing her craft since she was young. Her music is a dynamic blend of genres, reflecting her fearless approach to challenging herself creatively.
As the first P-Pop soloist under AQ Prime Music, Zéla’s mission goes beyond making hits — she’s here to inspire. Every lyric she pens, every beat she drops, and every performance she delivers is fueled by her passion to connect with people and spark something within them.
Her journey officially began in September 2023 with her debut single “Karma”, a track that quickly turned heads and earned her the title of Philippine Pop Top New Artist of the Year just months after release. In 2024, she followed it up with the cheeky and infectious “Pogi Boy”. On her birthday, she surprised fans with “01/01”, a heartfelt single that doubled as a gift to her loyal supporters.
Zéla’s growing presence reached new heights in February 2025 when she became the only P-Pop soloist to perform at the first-ever Waterbomb Festival in Manila — a monumental milestone that solidified her spot in the industry.
Now, after a brief hiatus, Zéla is back and bolder than ever with her first full-length studio album, “Lockhart”. Named after her own surname, Lockhart is more than just a music release — it’s a statement of identity, power, and artistry. The album is a 10-track journey that blends different genres, showcases her lyrical versatility, and embodies her ACE mindset: Activate Confidence to Empower.
