Zeñel is made up of London based trumpeter and producer Laurence Wilkins, Portuguese native Zoe Pascal on drums, and keyboard virtuosos Jay Verma and Alex Wilson. They fuse jazz with a wide variety of UK genres, including grime, UK garage and drum n bass.

Their UK drill influenced track ‘Vocophoria’ recently gained them 200,000 streams on Spotify and over 2 million views on social media. Since then they’ve launched into collaborations with big UK names including Blanco in an unpredented use of live jazz musicians by a drill artist, and Saiming in their collaborative single ‘know us.’.

With consistent support on BBC Radio 1xtra and a 10-fold increase in social media following, their upcoming singles in late 2025 are sure to open yet more exciting doors.
