About Sista Zock:

A Renaissance Woman from Harlem, Sista Zock’s artistry defies categorization. She crafts a sonic experience that melds spoken word with song, weaving Afro Jazz Fusion with a touch of Hip-hop into a tapestry that resonates with cultural richness and personal resilience. Her work, including the track "You Should Know That," featured as the official trailer for Academy Award-winning Lee’s Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It Season 2, showcases her ability to transcend boundaries and captivate audiences across mediums.

Sista Zock’s latest project, Zock Solid, Where the Stem Meets the Root, features a collaboration with Abiodun of The Last Poets and is a dedication to fallen soldiers, victims of senseless killings, and those ahead of their time. Her performances are a celebration of triumph, optimism, and perseverance, with a narrative that speaks directly to the soul. Having shared the stage with luminaries like Omari Hardwick, Loretta Divine, Bilal, and Macy Gray, Sista Zock’s influence extends beyond music, inspiring individuals from all backgrounds.

Mark your calendars and get ready for a night of unforgettable melodies!
