The Mexico City-born pianist, arranger, composer, producer, and singer Zoilapianista began her musical career as a child prodigy. Influenced by the legendary Latin jazz artist Papo Lucca, she boldly transitioned from classical music into salsa. Lucca and Sonora Ponceña supported her 2013 debut solo album, Influencias, which featured both a duet with and a tribute to Lucca.

Over the years, she has gone on to accompany numerous iconic salsa and jazz artists, including Ismael Miranda, Maelo Ruiz, the Puerto Rico All-Stars, and Justo Betancourt. As one of the first Mexican women to record salsa internationally, she has broken barriers with every note.

Now based in New York City, she is recognized as a dynamic bandleader and visionary musician, continuing to blaze her own trail in today’s musical landscape.
