About Me
- Zakiya Hooker
- At first glance it would seem that Zakiya Hooker was born into the blues. After all, her father is Blues Legend John Lee Hooker. But rather than relying on her father, Zakiya has pursued life and her music on her own terms. In 1991 Zakiya made her first public appearance with her father, John Lee Hooker at the Kaiser Center Theatre in Oakland, CA. Since that time Zakiya has gone on to perform on shows with Etta James, John Hammond, Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal and many more. By 1993 Zakiya released her first CD "Another Generation Of The Blues" on Silvertone Records. In 1997 Zakiya released her second CD "Flavors Of The Blues" worldwide on Pointblank/Virgin Records. 2001 brought a live release recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina "Colors Of The Blues". She is now working on her fourth CD. Zakiya Hooker is John Lee Hooker's living legacy. She is the singer-songwriter daughter of this American Icon and she is carrying her father's seminal blues torch confidently into the future.
