“These Are The Days" | Zak Abel | TEDxTeen

TEDxTeen opening music by BlackDoe
Introducing North London soul sensation Zak Abel who, at the tender age of 20, has some of the most in-demand producers clamouring to work with him. He is quickly becoming the musicians' musician, his incredible flair for a melody marrying perfectly with the organic musical alliances Zak is creating across the world. Collaborations with Tom Misch and Kaytranada have both hit the top of the Hype Machine chart on release and, with strong support across BBC 1Xtra and publications such as The Independent, i-D, Noisey, Complex, Clash and more, the future is looking very bright for this incredible talent. In autumn 2015, Zak headed out on the road with the incredible Kwabs throughout the UK, including a night at London's Roundhouse. He also recently played a sold-out headline show at London's Notting Hill Arts Club. With Zak's debut album coming in 2016, and more live news to follow, this is a space to watch!
