Zenet is the stage name of Antonio Mellado, who was born in Málaga in 1961. He started out in visual arts before turning to music, reportedly after meeting flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla. His debut album 'Los Mares de China' came out in 2008, mixing pop, jazz, and flamenco in a way that caught people's attention.
That album included 'Me Gustas,' which became his breakout song. He's kept releasing albums since then, with titles like 'Todas las Calles,' 'Si Sigo Siendo Humano,' and 'Agua.' Other tracks like 'Tranquila' and 'un beso de esos' show up in his catalog too.
He works with a regular group of musicians including guitarist Dani Garcia, bassist Edu Duran, and drummer Carlos Montull. Zenet has developed a reputation for being outspoken and somewhat private, which has sometimes drawn criticism alongside the appreciation for his 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.
