Zeñel

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 even drill. 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.
