The LA-based, Idaho-born singer-songwriter first felt the need to slip into a comfy cardigan and tennis shoes as a childhood acolyte of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, but reaches that warm, kaleidoscopic idyll on new album Everything All the Time (due early fall). By embracing the strange, beautiful flood of becoming yourself on your own terms, the warm, candid, funny, and awe-inspiring record captures what it feels like to stop viewing growth as a final destination and start treating it as an ongoing act of curiosity, compassion, and coming home to yourself. “Mr. Rogers gave me permission to feel deeply,” Zahm beams. “I want my music to be welcoming in that same way, to create an inclusive world that people can be a part of.” After years spent unraveling everything from body image to faith, sexuality, and identity in songs that connected with millions of listeners, Zahm now finds herself in a softer and more expansive chapter: one less focused on tearing herself apart to find answers or fitting into a box and more interested in celebrating the messy, ever-changing person emerging from the wreckage. Instead of trying to make some splash by fitting into a cookie cutter pop industry or fitting to the expectations of her community in a country or christian music lane, Zahm became determined to chase her own identity. And in that way, Everything All the Time beautifully reinforces the lesson that first drew Zahm toward the gentle emotional honesty of Mister Rogers: feeling deeply is both a gift and a responsibility. Rather than flattening herself into a self-help slogan or treating vulnerability like a moral high ground, Zahm allows her songs to exist in their fullest nuance. That openhearted charm comes not only from unbounded compassion, but also from years of refining her artistic voice in the music industry. Since bursting onto the scene, Zahm’s music has amassed more than 345 million streams worldwide, with the single “You Might Not Like Her” reaching the Top 5 of Spotify’s US Viral Chart. She’s found perhaps another amazing level of success on social media, with hit single “Fat Funny Friend” alone generating over 2 billion TikTok views. Along the way, she’s sold out headline tours across the US and internationally, shared stages with artists like P!nk, and earned acclaim from outlets including NPR, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and People—all built on a fusion of her impeccable songwriting, unrivaled voice, and boundless charisma, resulting in an online community of nearly two million followers drawn to her singular mix of vulnerability, humor, and hard-earned self-awareness. True to her kids’ TV inspiration, Zahm’s moving new album makes it clear that tapping into the full breadth of the universe isn’t always easy. On the title track lead single, the now Los Angeles-based artist uses her transcendent voice to bring the listener into that emotional journey, to act as a companion to share the pain. “You can’t hurt my feelings because my feelings they hurt me/ Another stranger’s life story’s the reason I can’t sleep,” she sings, each syllable like a tiptoed step over dry-ice fog piano. And when the track cracks open to make room for sweeping acoustic guitar and thunderous toms, her voice rises to the moment, a totemic beam lighting through the clouds. Finding a new creative home has created another level of depth. “Since moving to California, I’ve not only redefined how I write music, but I’ve come out as queer to myself,” Zahm says. “In Idaho, I thought I needed to be a traditional country singer or Christian artist. LA provided me a place to discover who I am personally and artistically, to open myself to the idea that I could be an artist of my choosing.” That newfound confidence breathes through the swaggery “Meryl”, a track dedicated to Zahm’s celebrity dream date. “I was dabbling in dating older women and loved the ridiculous idea of a song dedicated to my crush on Meryl Streep,” she giggles. And by taking clever twists on twangy pop tropes (acoustic chug, corkscrew backing vocals, a cheeky “hell yeah” on the bridge), Zahm reinforces both her technical strength and eagerness to explore where her new sense of self fits in—using a fictional romance to paradoxically open up and share more of herself than ever before. “Self-discovery never stops, but you can get to a place where it slows down,” she explains. “But I remind myself that I’m never again going to be somebody who’s coming out of the closet and leaving the church
