Zahriya Zachary

Born and raised in Spring, Texas, Zahriya Zachary joined the Bethel Music collective in 2021. Although Zahriya didn’t come from a musical family, her love of music began at an early age while learning to play the piano. While pursuing her bachelor’s degree at Texas Tech, she began volunteering on her church’s worship team while learning more about what it means to have a worshiper’s heart.
Zahriya made her Bethel Music debut on Homecoming (2021) leading the song, “Back To Life,” and joined Brian Johnson on “Hymn Of Heaven.” Her debut solo single, “Simple Ways,” released in 2022 and reflects on the simple joys that often go overlooked in the chaos of day-to-day life. Most recently, Zachary appeared on Bethel Music’s album Come Up Here (2023) leading “Surrounded By Holy.” She also released Surrounded By Holy (EP), including a new live and acoustic version, in addition to the recording on Come Up Here. Zahriya believes that worship is the place where we belong; it’s the most natural and innate thing that the Lord has called us to do, and it doesn’t have to look like music either–it can look like so many things. Her hope and prayer is that when she leads worship, people will forget about her, and be brought straight to the feet of Jesus.
