14 year old Zoë started her singing

career at the tender age of nine when

she recorded her first CD “Little Ray of

Light” in October 2004, to raise funds

for the New Oxford Children’s Hospital,

as a token of gratitude to the doctors

and nurses who had looked after her

sister Jodie. Jodie was born with

Downs Syndrome and a heart defect

and due to have open heart surgery

on 2nd March 2005. The album was

released on 8th November throughout

Zoë’s hometown of Oxfordshire; she

was even invited to sing live on

GMTV! All 5,000 copies sold in just

5 weeks raising a staggering £27,000!



After the success of her first album

Zoë wanted to record a second album

to raise funds for The Downs Syndrome

Association, which she named

“Songs For My Sister”.

Plans were made to record this album

in Zoë’s Easter holidays, just after Jodies

heart operation. Unfortunately, Jodie

did not survive her heart operation

and passed away on 2nd March 2005.

Zoë and Jodie had the most incredible

bond; they were devoted to each other.



Zoë cared for her sister like a parent

cares for their child, nothing was too

much. Just 4 weeks after the tragic and

unexpected death of her sister, Zoë

recorded “Songs for My Sister” making

this a tribute to Jodie.

“Songs for My Sister” was released

nationwide in the UK on 6th June 2005

in conjunction with Downs Syndrome

Awareness Week. Zoë returned to

GMTV on that day to officially launch

the album and the immediate response

was huge!

Six days after the release date Zoë’s

album reached No 2 in the Solo Classical

UK artist charts and No 5 in the Classical

Charts!



Zoë has performed in many professional

charity shows alongside many celebrities

a soloist with the The Royal Marines

and on Sunday 18 June 2006 at The New

Theatre in Oxford hosted her first ever

show "Zoë Mace & Stagecoach Charity

Spectacular” selling 2,500 tickets and

raising £20,000 for charity.



In the last 3 years Zoë’s fund raising

efforts have been rewarded by many

organisations and she has been named

Fox FM Radio’s Local Hero,

Mencap Young Person of the Year,

ITV Central Television Local Hero,

The Year of the Volunteer Award"

from the CSV charity

and Argos Wavemaker Award

for raising in excess of £120,000.



Zoë's first love will always be music

and as well as singing she plays the

piano and the drums and writes her

own songs and lyrics. But school

work is very important to this 13

year old who is an Allen academic

scholar at Cokethorpe School in

Witney, Oxfordshire. Zoë's ambitions

are to continue to sing and perform

as well as attend university to study

music, English Drama and Mathematics!



19th November 2007 saw the release

of Zoë’s third album titled

“Once upon a time”

produced by Andy Whitmore.

“Once upon a time” features some

of the worlds best loved songs including

a duet with one of the premiere singers

in the classical crossover world Geoff

Sewell. New Zealander Geoff is one

of the founders of “Amici forever” who

sold many hundreds of thousands of

albums worldwide and their

performance together on “Time to

say goodbye” is simply stunning!



Zoe's diary continues to grow with

sell-out performances, but school

always comes first!



Zoe is currently writing her own

material, exploring new and exciting

music styles as well as mantaining

her voice coaching whilst it rapidly

matures.
