about

London-based singer-songwriter Hoian is back with her catchy new single, ‘The Jester’ released on 25 April 2024, released as part of an EP.

The Jester is a tongue in cheek song about the dangers of power being won by personality and the lack of choice between current political parties. The guitar riff-laden track draws inspiration from the likes of Julia Jacklin, Big Thief, Elliott Smith and Radiohead's 'In Rainbows'.

It follows on an exciting year of songs including ‘In The Ring’, ‘Waves’ ‘Dancing Bears’ and ‘Untitled (Too Soon)’ which saw her pick up support from the likes of Clash Magazine, BBC Introducing Merseyside, BBC Radio London and Amazing Radio. She has also had inclusions on Apple Music’s ‘New in Indie’ and ‘New In Alternative’ playlists and Rough Trade’s ‘Counter Culture’ playlist on Spotify.

Hoian is the musical project of Zena Zerai, a musician and producer of Guyanese and Eritrean heritage, born on Merseyside and now living in South London.
