Profile Information
- About Me:
- At first glance it would seem that Zakiya Hooker was born into the blues. After all, her father is the late great Blues Legend John Lee Hooker. Zakiya has pursued life and 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, California. Since that time Zakiya has gone on to perform on shows with Etta James, John Hammond, Taj Mahal, Charlie Musselwhite and many more. By 1993 Zakiya released her first CD "Another Generation Of The Blues" on Silvertone Records. In 1997 she released her second CD "Flavors Of The Blues" worldwide on Pointblank/Virgin Records. 2001 brought a Indie live release recorded live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, "Colors Of The Blues". She is now finishing up her fourth CD.
Zakiya has spoken on Blues panels and given spoken word performances about this unique American Art form, all in addition to her performing and recording career. She was selected to give a spoken word performance at film director Martin Scorsese's Radio City Music Hall Blues Concert on February 7, 2003 in New York City, a concert that was filmed by director Antoine Fuqua. Zakiya was also a panelist, as well as a spoken word performer at San Francisco's KQED-TV launch program for Scorsese's fall 2003 PBS-TV series "The Blues" at San Francisco's Herbst Theatre on September 16, 2003.
Zakiya's music has carried her all over the world and given her the opportunity to perform for fans the world over. She performs nationally and internationally. Zakiya has performed at the world famous Fillmore Auditorium, the San Francisco Blues Festival, the Monterey Jazz & Blues Festival and many more. She has been on the cover of several well known trade magazines including Billboard Magazine. Zakiya's voice can also be heard on advertisements for LEXUS and AIWA, and also on the soundtrack of the movie Chalk, which has won the Camera d'Or at Cannes and Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in San Francisco.
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. Zakiya's jazzy blues sounds will take you in and out of songs like "Hey Lady", "Baby You Busted", "New Orleans Rain", "Protect Me From The Blues", "Crossroads", "Stones In My Passway" and many more to entertain you.
Zakiya is a versatile vocalist and a fantastic performer. She puts on a witty, funny, emotional and most of all entertaining show with her band. Let Zakiya entertain you with the best in blues.

Thank you very much, I am very honored to be among your friends. And thank you to "Crossroads" too. It is thanks to this tune I met you at ReverbNation.

ROCKIN' ANGELS said… - =) Yo Zakiya!! It’s a honor to have you in my blues connection. Your blood relation with Mr John Lee Hooker has made this invitation a shock. Reason being, after reading a very strong comment from your dad recently, and ever since then I’ve been quoting it after that.
It goes like this in my own words....”In Blues you don’t count but feel the music, there’s no when or when to come in chorus or verse....but just feel the melody and singer for direction.” And his early version for Boom Boom Boom is a classic example.
Why I feel strongly of his comment? It’s because I hated people putting counts and arrangements on Blues music. To me you’ll loose the Blues when one start counting....no one love to “COUNT” the sad times but love to “FEEL” the happy ones.
Call me...Rockin’ Angels, Rockin’ Cat or just Rockin’ Patt
Love U & your Dad!!

- Thanks very much for friendship Zakiya, I appreciate too much... Your work is amazing, and I like this opportunity to share our worlds...
The Life of a man is made up of a series of dreams which write our history, as well as our children, who then start to write their own. I decided to continue writing mine as soon as I began to dream in early childhood. One doesn't need to stop the journey along the way.
It is necessary to believe that the stars which light our way will never go out, and to continue to follow our dreams which inspire us in the most beautiful moments of our lives. If not, why is my star helping me to write so many fine melodies? I composed a suite for my dream,
called " Melody for an Oscar", and I am convinced that one day someone will help me to reach for that Oscar in Hollywood, which I have always imagined in my dreams. No matter what, my dreams have enhanced my musical creativity, and for that I am thankful.
