Zoë Keating

Zoë Keating is an acclaimed cellist, composer, and advocate often called a “one-woman orchestra.” She has a unique background that blends classical music with technology, using live looping to create rich and intricate music on stage by layering her cello performances. Zoë is famous for her independent success, having reached the top of the classical charts without a traditional record label. She has also composed music for film and television and has performed for audiences worldwide. After her husband was diagnosed with cancer, she temporarily paused her career and became a powerful voice for patients and their families. Through her blog, she shared her struggles with the healthcare system and advocated for better patient care and medical data portability. Today, Zoë has returned to her music, but she continues to be a vocal advocate for healthcare reform and artists’ rights. Named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, she is a respected figure who uses her platform to drive important conversations about technology, healthcare, and the arts.
