With a growing catalog of experimental, story-driven tracks and a unique aesthetic that blends street grit with surrealist vision, he represents a new wave of independent artistry worth amplifying.


Zina X Kae is a dual identity—Zyna, the chaotic good creative who bends genres without hesitation, and Kae, from Decatur, Georgia (born in 2000), a jack-of-all-trades in music, vocals, production, and design. From a restless troublemaker to a versatile artist, every track shows that humility and adaptability are the essence of what he’s about.
