Ziezie
19-year-old from Croydon with infectious melodies, unforgettable lyrics and upper-echelon performance energies.
He began singing at the age of 11, joining the school choir after being encouraged by his teachers, and immersed himself in different genres that have had an indelible mark on his style. He describes his music as versatile, saying: “I mix up the genres. I could do rock music, a ballad, afrobeats, hip-hop, so I haven’t got a fixed genre. Ever since I was younger, I was open to different sounds as long as I liked it.
Balancing a full-time education at college, his mother’s sudden departure to the Congo to care for his ailing grandmother in 2016 gave ZieZie the chance to spread his musical wings.
ZieZie posted his first song on Soundcloud at the end of that year, and now working closely with the skillful production duo, iLL Blu, he is honing in on crafting his infusion of Afrobeat productions, dancehall melodies & the high energy of UK Rap. His latest single ‘Fine Girl’ is sitting pretty with almost 10 million Spotify streams and has been playlisted across BBC 1XTRA, Capital Xtra, Reprezent more.
