About

KZE (pronounced K-Z-E) is a London-based producer, engineer and songwriter whose sound evolves with the times while staying rooted in the DNA of Hip-Hop and R&B.

Inspired by artists and producers such as Metro Boomin, Southside, Kanye West, Noah “40” Shebib and WondaGurl, KZE is drawn to music that creates a world around the listener. His production moves between soulful samples, atmospheric textures, melodic arrangements and hard-hitting 808s — blending emotion, space and energy to create records that feel as good as they hit.

For KZE, production has never been about fitting into one sound. It is about creating a feeling.

Every record starts with the same question: What does this need to feel like? From there, the sound can go anywhere. Dark or soulful. Minimal or cinematic. Melodic or heavy. The goal is always to give the artist something that feels authentic to them while bringing a distinct KZE identity to the record.

That approach comes from a belief that growth requires change. KZE has continually expanded his craft from producing into engineering and songwriting, developing a deeper understanding of how records are built and how an idea can become a finished piece of music.

In 2022, KZE founded Tha Mastermindz, a production collective created around collaboration, experimentation and pushing each other creatively. Since then, his work has continued to reach audiences across the UK and internationally, contributing to music with 808 Mafia, A$AP Twelveyy, A2, Akwa Skywater, Blade Brown, Benny The Butcher, Fee Gonzales, JME, M Huncho, OneFour and many more.

His achievements include Top 10 debut singles and Top 10 debut albums on Spotify in 2023, as well as an ARIA nomination in 2026 for Best Album.

Today, KZE continues to build, collaborate and evolve — staying connected to the culture that shaped him while refusing to be confined by it.

The sound can change. The influences can evolve. The mission stays the same: create music that means something, feels something and lasts.
