About — ZenGxrl

ZenGxrl is a Lisbon-based DJ whose music merges her Angolan heritage with Portugal’s underground rhythms. Her sets bring together electronic styles ranging from Batida to Afro-House, Baile Funk, House, and Jersey Club, among others. Known for blending styles without constraints, her self-proclaimed philosophy remains: "If it sounds good, I'll play it."

Beyond technical skill, ZenGxrl’s mission is to create inclusive spaces through her work. She sees rhythm and sound as tools to foster unity and break down barriers. Whether performing for thousands at festivals or curating intimate sets, she aims to build shared experiences that transcend cultural boundaries: "Even though our backgrounds are completely different, it's about making someone feel at home."

This is precisely the essence of her work: using rhythm and sound as tools to foster inclusivity and unity. Through her performances, ZenGxrl builds spaces where people can experience sound, culture, and style in ways that feel personal yet universal.

Her creative journey began as a young artist exploring the intersection of rhythm and culture on her family’s home computer. Growing up between Angola and Portugal, she developed a love for music that tells stories and bridges different worlds—culturally, musically, personally. This duality of influence continues to shape her sound.

ZenGxrl’s ability to blend genres and create immersive atmospheres has taken her to major stages worldwide. She has performed at renowned festivals and features like Sónar Lisboa, Boiler Room, Sublimation Festival, NOS Alive, Mochakk is Calling, and Soho House. Her talent extends to radio mixes, where platforms like Rinse FM, Circoloco, Keinemusik, and Refugee Radio have showcased her genre-defying approach.

Her influence also extends into fashion. ZenGxrl collaborates with global brands such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Diesel, and Kuboraum. She has been featured in publications and platforms including Electronic Beats, Elle, Fraulein, Sicky, Wonderland, and Numéro. For her, fashion is a form of self-expression that complements her music. This fusion allows her to resonate across cultural spheres, weaving sound and style into a cohesive narrative.

In addition to her international performances, ZenGxrl highly values the connections she makes through music. Her sets have the impact of bridging generations and leaving a lasting impression on her audience. She embraces the cultural influences of the places she is being invited to, incorporating them into her sets to continuously expand her vision while maintaining a coherent identity.
