Zekiel’s second single of the year “Energy”, was co-written and produced by critically acclaimed producer Taka Perry, who has previously worked with the likes of M-Phazes, Mick Schultz, Max Frost, and Ruel. “Energy” is set for release on Friday 18th September. 

The song’s darkly addictive flow marks a pronounced growth in Zekiel’s sound, distinguishing him as one of the most exciting new artists in Australia’s hip hop scene.

‘Energy’ is the follow up to his first single of 2020, “9 Days Straight”, which was praised by Music Feeds, PileRats, Fen Hong Se and more, as well as scoring an addition to Nic Kelly’s Project U playlist. 

Growing up in the Queensland town of Mackay, 23-year-old ZEKIEL is one of six children. Moving to Brisbane at 18, ZEKIEL flexed his newfound passion for writing and performing, while working hard independently promoting his music, before the hustle saw him move to Sydney in 2019.

 Quickly building a network of talented next-generation artists around him, ZEKIEL puts a particular emphasis on collaboration and championing the success of those around him. It’s something he believes that makes this new generation of musicians unique. Instead of viewing each other as competition in this cut-throat industry, they work collaboratively on each other’s projects.

 Since moving to Sydney he’s worked with the likes of Thelma Plum, Cosmo’s Midnight, Jack Gray and Cyrus - as well as working as a topliner and guest writer.
