Born and raised in Spring, Texas, Zahriya Zachary joined the Bethel Music collective in 2021. Although she didn’t come from a musical family, her love for songs began at an early age while learning to play the piano. As she pursued her bachelor’s degree at Texas Tech, she started volunteering on her church’s worship team, even though at the time she did not yet know 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 joining Brian Johnson on “Hymn Of Heaven.” Her debut solo single, “Simple Ways,” released in 2022, reflects on the simple joys that often go overlooked in the chaos of day-to-day life. Zachary appeared on Bethel Music’s album Come Up Here (2023), leading “Surrounded By Holy.” Most recently, she is featured on the collective’s single release, “If The Lord,” recorded live at the Cascade Theatre in Redding, California.

Zahriya believes that worship is the place where we belong, stating; “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.
