Moderation

I’m not moderating to tell you something. I want to experience something with you. Are you ready?

I specialize in the cultural and creative industries with particular expertise in Berlin and Brandenburg. Whether young or old, here we go.
My languages? German, English. And of course: Berlinish.

"Zoey is a refreshingly different presenter. The emphatic interaction and well-founded approach to the topics is always joined by good humor, positivity and joie de vivre, which spill over to the viewers*."
Nina, Hamburg
"Zoey is a special presenter. She manages to combine profound knowledge, honest interest and her natural joie de vivre in an authentic and engaging way. As a viewer, you are entertained and informed in the best possible way."
Ronny, Hamburg
Zoey is a little experience. When she narrates, it bubbles out of her in a fluffy manner and it is enormous fun to experience how she makes her favorite Berlin places and people ours, quick-witted and without great pathos. She packs her historical knowledge into interesting and funny anecdotes and in all the little Kiez stories you can feel her loving attachment to the city. As a native of Berlin, I am very glad that she and her work exist.

"Hello my dear, I would like to thank you again for the wonderful months with you as a city guide in my bus in Berlin. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that you are the nicest, funniest and best informed city guide in town. Stay as you are and see you again soon. LG Claus"
Claus, Berlin
"Dear Zoey, I thought your tour was very great. I learned many interesting things. It was one of the greatest trips I have ever had. I think you are very funny and nice. I never thought I could learn so much in such a short time, but I did. The fact that you took us through the Nikolai quarter was a lot of fun. I would love to see you again sometime as you were/are very personable and funny. The hug at the end did me very good 😉 Very best regards"

"If you're looking for a tour on the history of the Berlin Wall, you must join Zoey for this walking tour! She has a unique perspective, on the history of Berlin before/during/and after the wall, that you won't get from a hop-on/hop-off bus tour. This is like going to a museum with a docent--you will have a totally different understanding of the things you see."
Terri, USA
"Dear Zoey, I really enjoyed your tour of the Nikolai Quarter. I found it exciting when you told us about the old cemetery. When we were in the cemetery and saw the coffins, I got goosebumps. I thought it was cool to look at the ruins and see the old wall. My favorite part was that you were so funny."
Luna - school class 4-6 grade from Berlin Friedrichshain
"The tour was very good, funny and varied. You taught my class and me a lot about Berlin, I thought that was great. I can only recommend it!"
Leonhard - school class 4-6 grade from Berlin Friedrichshain
"One of the best guided tours I’ve ever had. The group size was perfect, the pace was just right and we got so much individual attention. Zoey was incredibly knowledgeable, very sensitive to our needs and has a lovely relaxed and had an incredibly welcoming manner about her. Couldn’t recommend her enough. I learned so much and the time just flew by!"
Andrea, Großbritannien
"The guided tour of the Nikolai Quarter was very informative. There were many things I didn't know, for example that Berlin joined forces with Cölln. Before that, I also didn't know that the Nikolaiviertel even existed. The tour was funny and exciting at the same time."
Valentin - school class 4-6 grade from Berlin Friedrichshain
I liked the trip very much. You welcomed us with your meganette and sympathetic way and told us so many exciting things, you just had to listen. With your nice and funny way you often made us laugh. So I can only say: "Try it out, because it's really worth it!". 😊
Leni - school class 4-6 grade from Berlin Friedrichshain
"What an enjoyable and interesting day we had with such a fine guide. Zoey was very easy going, with superior English and a knowledgeable friendly and very informative tour about the GDR. From her own families experience to the significant events in the GDRs inception to it fall she covered it while taking us to a number of the places where the history was made."
Dean, Botsuana

Vocals

 

Since my childhood, I have been fascinated by the effect and variety of my voice. The power of classical singing had particularly impressed me. My grandparents played a big role in encouraging me on my musical path. As a teenager, I took advantage of every free opportunity to make music or sing. Many who experienced me on this path encouraged me and saw in me a diamond in the rough.

Coming of age, earning my first money in Berlin, I seized the opportunity and sought out a vocal coach to learn a healthy, classical vocal technique. To this day, I am deeply grateful to Verena Rein for her expertise and school.

Meanwhile, my vocal passion is jazz, interdisciplinary projects (ex. theater and singing), as well as fusion genres (neo soul, electro jazz, electro).

Mew Matou

a special jazz duo: our passion is a jazz that inscribes unpredictability with passionate fulfillment in a performance. 

Her*MusicWorld FemKestra

An all female* big band in Berlin, to make the jazz stages more diverse. 

Free projects

I love to dedicate myself to new interdisciplinary, musical projects (theater, performance, event) with an open mind and curiosity.

"Zoey has a very magical voice that comes from the heart and touches hearts. She sang at our wedding ceremony and many had goosebumps and teary eyes. It was truly a wonderful and unforgettable moment. Hey Zoey, so glad you exist! You are a powerful, creative and lively woman!"
Juliane und Markus, Belzig
Zoey's voice and expression was gorgeous and took everyone away. Wonderfully sung and arranged, a great atmosphere with her pianist! Great duo! Close to the audience and deeply entertaining!
