Biography

Zubeyda Muzeyyen was born in California.[4] She is of Syrian and Circassian descent.[5] She grew up in New Jersey.[6] In 2012, she moved to Philadelphia.[4] She is based in New York.[7]

She is a member of 700 Bliss, along with Moor Mother.[8] The duo released the Spa 700 EP in 2018.[9] The duo's debut studio album, Nothing to Declare, was released in 2022.[10]

As a solo artist, she released her debut solo EP, Mixed Berries, in 2019.[11] In that year, she also released the Grace EP through Hyperdub.[12] She then self-released the Era EP in 2021.[13] In 2023, she released the Handplay EP through Hyperdub.[14]

In 2025, she released her debut solo studio album, Beside Myself, through Hyperdub.[15] It received universal acclaim from critics.[16]

On March 13, 2026, during the Biennale of Sydney, Muzeyyen was condemned by Jewish groups and Chris Minns, the premier of New South Wales, after stating that a "Zio-Australian-Epstein empire" was responsible for silencing dissenters.[17] She also expressed solidarity with the people of Iran, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine.[18] Muzeyyen also chanted phrases "long live the resistance", "glory to all of our martyrs" and "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" during the festival.[19][20]
