Shaya Zamora — Music Videos

An alternative songwriter from Washington

Shaya Zamora is an American singer and songwriter raised in rural Washington. His music connects acoustic songwriting with alternative pop, folk, and a strong thread of spiritual imagery. He began writing while young, using songs to approach experiences he describes in direct, everyday terms. His recordings often place a rough-edged, emotionally exposed voice inside a spacious arrangement, allowing the words and the grain of the singing to remain prominent.

Songs and collaborators

His catalog includes “Evil Against Me,” “Cigarette,” “Dark Sea,” “Numb,” and “Chemicals.” Released through Atlantic Records in 2025, “Chemicals” was written with collaborators including Mxwell, Jake Matthew Vanderpool, and Scott Kreuger. “Stars,” which followed later that year, continues his collaboration with producer Mxwell and approaches grief through questions left unanswered after a loss. These songs belong to a continuing sequence of releases rather than a fixed band project.

Faith, doubt, and an individual voice

Zamora’s writing frequently returns to temptation, salvation, regret, and the effort to keep going. Those subjects give his work a relationship with gospel and faith-centered songwriting, even when the production sits closer to contemporary alternative pop. The songs tend to preserve tension rather than resolve every feeling, making uncertainty and the search for reassurance part of their emotional character.
