Zella Day Kerr (born March 13, 1995) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician.

Day independently released her debut album, Powered by Love (2009), at age 14. Following the success of her cover of "Seven Nation Army", Day worked as a songwriter for BMG and eventually signed with Hollywood Records. After releasing her self-titled EP in 2014, Day released her major label debut album, Kicker (2015), which was preceded by the RIAA-certified single "Hypnotic".

Following a slew of standalone releases, Day released the EP Where Does the Devil Hide (2020) and her third studio album Sunday in Heaven (2022), under Concord Records.

Since 2023, she has been performing music as a member of the country group Chaparelle.

Day was born on March 13, 1995, in Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona. She was immersed in the café and art space her parents helped to create in their small mountain town of Pinetop-Lakeside. She was first encouraged by her mother to learn guitar as practical means for achieving a sustainable career as a musician. Her first songs, written soon after picking up the guitar at age 9, took influence from the classic singer-songwriter records of her parents and the mystique of the rugged desert landscape around her.

In 2009, Day self-released her debut album Powered by Love. The album was funded and recorded by a family friend. The initial success of Powered by Love brought the attention of BMG Publishing, who connected her with John Paul White of the Civil Wars and Meghan Trainor for writing sessions.

In 2012, Day self-released her first extended play, Cynics vs Dreamers. The album was produced by Wally Gagel and Xandy Barry of Wax Ltd. "Simple Song" was featured in the film Tooth Fairy 2.

That year she also released a cover of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army", which reached number one on Hype Machine's charts. The song received over 50 million plays on Spotify. In 2013, Day was featured on Sultan & Ned Shepard's "All These Roads" alongside Sam Martin. The single, which debuted in early October 2014 on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 broadcast, was celebrated by Billboard for its "ebbs and flows with harmonies and rhythmic shifts."
