About ZHU
Over the years, ZHU has earned acclaim for his forward-looking vision, beginning with his debut EP, THE NIGHTDAY, which included the GRAMMY-nominated hit “Faded.” His full-length debut, GENERATIONWHY, topped Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart and landed on the Billboard 200, and he’s had dozens of tracks hit the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. Billboard named DREAMLAND 2021 as one of the “50 Best Albums of 2021 So Far” upon its release. Musical Chairs Mixtape (Vol. 1) followed in 2022, dropping just before ZHU’s headlining set at Lollapalooza. ZHU’s recent singles include “Revelations,” a collaboration with Devault and BabyJake, and “Changes.” He previewed his NIGHTDAY fashion line, designed in collaboration with Emmy Slattery, during his EDC Las Vegas set last year, prompting Billboard to observe, “It’s an accomplishment for an artist to partner with a swanky fashion house, yet a next-level achievement is unlocked by designing a collection one’s self, from inspiration to garment.” He’s earned partnerships with like-minded brands including Luminosity and Leica. But all of this success has never been the point – ZHU just wants to head to the dancefloor and dream up better worlds.
