Before starting to dream up pagan music on her current island home near Vancouver, B.C., Zorah Staar was a prairie gal who studied piano and wrote songs as a teenager. But music got put away while Zorah spent time working as an advocate and counselor (primarily for abused women and children) and after that doing community development work with various non-profit groups. Then a brand new keyboard and a beautiful old guitar called Zorah back to songwriting and performing, and "pagan pop" started to take shape.

Zorah’s reborn creativity sprang out of her own healing process and a growing connection with loving and magical energies bigger than herself. Part of this has meant looking back to what her European ancestors were for much longer than they were anything else - pagans. They were ordinary folk who honoured and found extraordinary beauty and power in the earth, the elements, the Goddess and God energies (by their many names), and in the countless other energies and spirits which (for many ancient and modern peoples) make up our universe and ourselves.

Zorah’s biggest dream is to help contribute to the transformation of the world through music. She's just released her newest CD, "The Goddess Blew a Bubble", made up of the songs from a full-length pagan musical of the same name (now a screenplay for a movie coming your way some day). Prior to that came Zorah's first 12-song CD of "pagan pop", which has been played on over 60 pagan and alternative radio stations around the world, the premiere of a major choral work by Zorah called "A Child: Song for Wabe Banash"", and a variety of performances at venues and festivals around British Columbia. Zorah believes in sharing the fun, passion and magic of all kinds of music with all kinds of people, and intends to be a student of music and a student of love for as long as she’s around.
