Innovative in artistic directions, multi-disciplinary, multi-instrumentalist – ZackieL’s signature style as a singer and songliner is rooted in his years of living, travelling and performing worldwide. He also creates as an events organiser and host, a musical facilitator for wellness retreats and gatherings, a music mentor and teacher, spoken word poet, writer and a field recordist studied in Ethnomusicology.

 
Cultural influences abound. ‘Global Soul’  begins to describe the eclectic originality. There is soul, folk, jazz and hiphop especially in the vocal influences; with Electronic Global Bass, West African blues, rumba/flamenco, medicine musics, Middle Eastern & Indian classical styles and more in the musicality. Soaring, deeply soulful vocals entrance, whilst the messages between the lyrical lines have ever held true to the works of growth and transformation in self and the collective.
 

After 7 years of songwriting and performing professionally on stages around the world, honing the craft, ZackieL launched his long-awaited first single Wild|Wise in March last year, and is now launching The SOLACE Project.

The official Art Film | Music Video and his second single 'SOLACE' - his most raw and soulful work -arrived on the 30th March 2025, with a special Launch Event for The SOLACE Project (music, film, panels, poetry, dance & exhibitions) at &Soul Southall in West London.
