Artists have various motivations for creating albums, but ZOYA never set out with that intention initially.
It all started with ‘When Heaven Calls’, the penultimate track from what is now known as ‘Eternity’. ZOYA wrote this piece in the wake of a profound tragedy three years ago. What began as a singular track blossomed into her debut LP, showcasing the evolution of the young Bulgarian producer and DJ.

ZOYA shares, “In 2021, I lost my mother to Covid. It happened very suddenly, and it brought into perspective just how short and transient everything is. My grief was so great that nothing made sense anymore. I found solace only in music – it saved me! I created the first track of the following series, titling it ‘When Heaven Calls’, which is dedicated to my mom. My inspiration grew from that piece of music into a full album. Each track on it carries its own story and individual emotional thread, creating a tapestry of my journey through grief and healing.”
“Through my music, I would like to allow others to connect with those emotions, creating a shared experience that they too can find comfort in. My story is a testament to the enduring nature of love expressed through art. I decided to call it ‘Eternity’, as through it, I wanted to gift you a piece of myself. Music is eternal, and therefore, one day when I am gone, you will still be able to feel a part of my soul that will live through my tracks – a part of the ‘Eternity’.”
ZOYA’s album release marks a significant milestone in her career, culminating a transformative year. With the release of ‘In Search Of Sunrise 20’, she made her debut music compilation, which also became her first vinyl release. This year has seen her perform in various new cities and countries, as well as remix tracks for notable artists like Markus Schulz.
Listeners may notice ZOYA’s sorrow reflected in the thirteen tracks of the album. Songs like ‘Gone’, ‘Endless’, and ‘Eternity’ convey the deep loss that inspired this project. However, the album is not just a reflection of grief; it also serves as a celebration of life. The listening experience is cathartic, featuring heartfelt melodies and intricate production. As a whole, ‘Eternity’ flows seamlessly, much like a live ZOYA set, with each track beautifully complementing the next.
ZOYA’s ‘Eternity’ provides the producer/DJ with an album launchpad she may not have initially intended, but one that she was always meant to create.
