Multidimensional artist Zolita takes 1883 Magazine behind the scenes of her pre-show rituals while on tour with Bebe Rexha.

With over 300 million streams, there’s nothing really stopping singer, songwriter, director and filmmaker Zolita. Since the beginning, she’s placed LGBTQ+ narratives at the forefront — showcasing the stories that she’s either experienced or seen firsthand and placing them to music as a way to celebrate queer joy and queer storytelling. Her latest single Grave explores something new for Zolita — a reflective and introspective song that touches on aiming to be the bigger person after someone you love hurts you. The track was released as a celebratory moment for Zolita who recently wrapped up an opening slot while on tour for Bebe Rexha.

After her two LA dates at The Wiltern, Zolita takes 1883 Magazine behind the scenes of her backstage process and gives us an insightful look into what she gets up to before she hits the stage.
