ZEE-2 are an East Asian female DJ duo based in London. Creative consultant, Zoe, and Singer-Songwriter/Producer, Saïna, play an eclectic mix of RnB, Hip-hop and Soul remixes with a House, Baile Funk, UK Garage, Afro and Amapiano twist.

As a producer, rapper, and filmmaker, my music is very immersive and story driven. It pulls the listener into an entirely different world with each song, through a colourful use of sound design and hard-hitting yet comedic lyrical storytelling. I take pride in an original sound that I can call my own.
