Almira Zaky

Almira Zaky is an Indonesian-American R&B/Pop recording artist, songwriter, and performer from Virginia. Almira began her journey as a vocalist at a young age and could be seen performing for thousands all around the DMV region. She went on to attend Virginia Commonwealth University where she gained experience in the music industry by booking acts like Travis Scott & Tory Lanez at just 19-years-old. Almira’s friends coined a new nickname for her, “Boss Lady”, because she hopes to inspire her fans to become the boss of their own life no matter where they are from. In early 2022, Almira was casted to represent her home state of Virginia on the NBC TV Show "American Song Contest". Almira released her single "Over You" in partnership with Atlantic Records for the show and her performance garnered over 505k views in 7 days, receiving support from fans worldwide, especially from Asia. In 2023, Almira delivered a TEDx Talk at Johns Hopkins University based off of turning her pain into purpose and power, and made her festival debut performing at Pharrell Williams' "Something in the Water" music festival. Almira most recently became the first ever Indonesian Artist Partner under United Masters. She describes her sound as modern R&B with pop-infused melodies, and 90’s/2000’s rhythmic production. With an unapologetically-herself personality, outspoken lyrical skill, commanding vocal range, and captivating stage presence, she is sure to continue winning over the hearts of many as she bridges the gap between her two worlds; her Indonesian heritage and American upbringing.
