LATEST RELEASE

Provocative Lyrics | Lush Vocals | Profound Soul

ZENON is a bi-racial, non-binary singer/songwriter forging a path with Soul. Their voice at that forefront packs power with masterful control, their heart pens lyrics that paint a story of personal struggles with mental health in 7 Deadly Sins to What It Was an ‘in your face’ song about social injustices and its impacts.

What It Was, captures those injustices so well, it wins them 2 awards and ZENON’s debut album GENRE Z got nominated in multiple categories at the 2023 YYC Music Awards and in the R&B/Soul category at Western Canadian Music Awards. Most recently they were awarded both Solo Artist of the Year and R&B/Soul Recording of the Year for Falling (Into You) at the 2025 YYC Music Awards.

Performing ~40 live shows a year ZENON live stage presence is well honed. They recently opened for Jordan Hart and has opened for Alex Cuba at a Road to the Juno’s event, shared the stage with Mattmac, warmed the audience for Allison Russell and double headlined with Amy Bishop and Theo Tams. ZENON's versatility makes them a sought after collaborator, as seen on their work with The Blue, K-Riz and Theo Tams.

So Fine is ZENON’s latest single, a Neo-Soul song that kicks off silky smooth before sliding into a funky groove that refuses to sit still. This second release from their album Redecorating My Mind is a sonic swirl with an undeniable message that embodies the album’s central theme: the cost of losing yourself in someone else and the journey to reclamation.

ZENON’s current projects include releasing 3 singles in 2025 in advance of an album, composing songs for a project with Calgary Opera and composing 12 songs for an exciting musical theatre production as a co-creator with Dan Clapson.

Armed with a BMus degree, large repertoire and live show charisma ZENON's trajectory is upward.
