DJ C-Live Introduces Zen, a new chapter in sound, culture and soul
DJ C-Live is charting a new course and he's doing it with intention. The hip-hop radio pioneer, cultural curator and sonic storyteller has officially introduced Zen, a creative alias grounded in his middle name, Zenzele.
The event will kick off on August 1 at Laparada in Melrose Arch, and will feature artists Mobi Dixon, Naked DJ, Zen, Uncool Angels and more.
'This alias isn't about leaving something behind,' says Zen.
'Zen has always been lurking in the background. It's about realignment. It's about returning to what truly resonates — sound, story, soul and self.'
While DJ C-Live stands tall as a champion of hip-hop and urban culture, from his work on YFM and 5FM to TV stints on Voov TV, Club 808, and Channel O's The Mix Up, Zen will open up a deeper, more spiritual lane.
With the new identity, Zen steps into the role of creative director, experience curator and movement builder. He aims to craft immersive projects that blend design, Afrocentric rhythm and soul
Zen's official unveiling on August 1 marks the beginning of a new creative era.
