Zoe Boekbinder
Hi, and thanks for your work on Zoe Boekbinder. The usual way to go about getting an article included in Wikipedia is by creating a draft - in this case, Draft:Zoe Boekbinder - and working on that until it is ready. Unfortunately your draft was declined for the reasons you can see there. Please refrain from moving your article to the mainspace without having a draft approved first, and especially refrain from this when your draft has been explicitly declined. If you have questions about the process please feel free to contact me via my talk page and I will do my best to answer! Regards, Akakievich (talk) 18:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I urge you also to check in at the WP:Teahouse, where experienced editors can help you understand what you are doing wrong, and how to do it right. S Philbrick (Talk)  18:51, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Zoe Boekbinder
Zoe Boekbinder is a Canadian-born musician, activist, and artist. Zoe is an internationally touring song-writer and is currently working with Ani DiFranco on a collaboration called The Prison Music Project. The two will release this project in May 2020. Zoe’s original style of folk and bluesy guitar, their haunting and melodic voice, and their piercingly political yet bravely vulnerable lyrics can only be described as magic.

Early Life
Zoe Boekbinder was born on an early winter morning, in the upstairs bedroom of a brown wooden farmhouse on Regional Route #3, in a small township in Ontario, Canada. When Zoe was four years old their parents sold the family farm and took off for the USA in a big red truck towing a trailer behind it. They, their three siblings and two parents rode all around the western half of the US. The family stayed in different Buddhist communities and trailer parks along their way to California.

After six months on the road, their family settled in the Sierra foothills in Northern California.

Music Career
In 2005 Zoe formed a band, with their sibling Kim Boekbinder, called Vermillion Lies. Over the five years that they played together they released two albums, "Separated by Birth" (2006), and “What’s In the Box?” (2008). Their sibling still plays music and makes albums. From time to time they still collaborate.

In 2009 Zoe decided to release an album of songs on their own. They recorded with their friend and producer, Cesar Alvarez, in Brooklyn, NY. Thus, "Artichoke Perfume" (2009), was born. Two years later came their second born, "Darling Specimens" (2011), produced by Shenandoah Davis in Seattle, WA. Then "Baby Bandit" (2014) " (January 2014) was recorded live onto two inch tape in Oakland, CA with cellist Danah Olivetree and violinist Dorota Szuta. The latest album, “Shadow" (2018) ”, was self-produced and released in November of 2018.

From May 2010 to December 2014, Zoe volunteered as a performer and teacher at New Folsom Prison. They are working on an album of songs with songwriters, poets, and rappers who are incarcerated there. It is produced by Ani DiFranco and features Amanda Palmer, Mirah, John Boutte, and Ani D herself. The profits of the album will benefit incarcerated and formerly incarcerated communities.

In the fall of 2013, Zoe wrote 100 songs in 100 days. They recorded each one and posted them daily. You can hear it in its immense entirety on bandcamp.

Zoe resides in New Orleans, Louisiana. They have an affinity for mason jars, rusted metal, Dolly Parton, sea creatures, botanical drawings, dilapidated barns, chocolate, avocados, restorative justice, honesty, port wine, and their beagle-mutt Mudbug. They want to live a farm again someday.

Their favorite collaborators over the years have been; Kim Boekbinder, Ani DiFranco, Kaki King, Amanda Palmer, Shenandoah Davis, Cesar Alvarez, Jason Webley, Carla Kihlstedt, Mal Blum, Mirah, Phantom Tides, Justin Peake, Jon Arceneaux, Danah Olivetree, Dorota Szuta, and writers (currently and formerly) incarcerated at New Folsom Prison: Alex Batriz, Greg Gadlin, Spoon Jackson, 'Drifter' Allen, Abraham Banks, Samual Brown, Nathen Jackson, Bruce Dixon and Ken Blackburn.
