ZAE is a music collective from Los Angeles with Zae Graham on vocals and songwriting, Brian Kennedy on drums and production, and Alex Crow on bass and keyboards. Their sound pulls from hip-hop, pop, and electronic music, heard on tracks like "Serve (feat. Paul N Ballin)" and "Letting Go." They've put out albums including The New Regime in 2019, Unfiltered in 2021, and Illuminate in 2023.
Their lyrics often touch on identity and resilience, and they've been vocal about social justice issues. In 2021, they faced some pushback after criticizing the music industry's lack of diversity, but kept speaking out. They've worked with artists like Paul N Ballin and Terrace Martin.
On stage, the three members have a collaborative energy that comes through in their performances. They write and produce together, with each bringing different elements to their music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
