At only seven, Filipino-American Zoë Erriana has already achieved a lot in music her parents feel like she’s carrying on a legacy of musical talent from another lifetime: she plays the piano like a pro, has churned out original music, and has 11 songs already copyrighted to her name.
Zoë’s parents first discovered her exceptional gift when she was just two years old—she has a perfect pitch, effortlessly hitting every note with astounding accuracy. By the age of four, she began formal piano lessons and breezed through four years’ worth of piano books, according to her personal website.
The talented girl from Pennsylvania has also been captivating audiences on social media with her amazing piano performances, whether it’s tackling familiar tunes or masterfully sounding out songs she has never heard before.
Recently, she caught the eye of none other than music icon Alicia Keys after impressively covering the hit song “If I Ain’t Got You” right after watching the R&B queen perform it at the Super Bowl halftime show. Alicia Keys was so impressed that she shared Zoë’s performance across all her social media platforms, catapulting the young musician into the spotlight. “This is amazing! She is a brilliant Girl on Fire!!! Keep nurturing your gift,” the singer-songwriter said on her TikTok post. And Zoë couldn’t be happier! “She hopes to meet and perform with Alicia Keys one day in the near future,” said on her Instagram account managed by her parents.

Last year, Zoë auditioned for America’s Got Talent Season 18 and wowed the four judges with her adorable yet powerful rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” earning four “yeses” that allowed her to advance in the competition.
Now, she’s garnering a large following on social media account as she prepares for her first-ever musical, Seussical Jr., set to be staged at the Media Theater in May and June.
