ON SALE NOW | https://gigst.rs/ZHU | ALL AGES EVENT (U14s must be accompanied by an adult)With his sleek synth melodies, billowing basslines, and undeniable hooks, the GRAMMY-nominated artist ZHU creates tracks that are as sexy as they are sinister.
Though many know ZHU as a producer and DJ, he’s much more than that: he’s also a singer, performer, instrumentalist, and, importantly, a songwriter and filmmaker, two facets he delves into for his ambitious new album and film GRACE. The dual projects navigate a carefully written journey from darkness to light, tension to release, uncertainty to peace. ZHU created an accompanying film (out this fall) that fully captures GRACE’s breathtaking audio-visual spectacle. The album, which will double as the film’s soundtrack, is the clearest manifestation of ZHU’s multifaceted artistic state of mind.
ZHU first made his presence known to the world with his 2014 single, “Faded,” which was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 2015 Grammy Awards. He stamped his spot with his genre-blurring 2016 debut, GENERATIONWHY. He only continued to evolve with subsequent projects like RINGOS DESERT (2018), DREAMLAND 2021 (2021), Musical Chairs Mixtape (Vol. 1) (2022) and Days Before Grace EP (2023), a prologue to Grace. Upon the release of GRACE, ZHU is reflecting on his career and he’s also ready for new boundaries to push.
Far from a standard dance record or a collection of singles, ZHU intends GRACE to be listened to from beginning to end, as he tells a story that’s surely worth watching.
