The Zealots

Formed a decade ago in the vibrant heart of London, The Zealots are a dynamic collective that has carved out a unique niche in the realm of Big Soul music. With infectious grooves and heartfelt lyrics, the band blends the funky essence of Jamiroquai and the sophisticated melodies of Steely Dan, spiced with the soulful influences of Stevie Wonder and the bluesy grit of Gary Clark Jr.

At the helm of The Zealots is Aylwin Steele, whose powerful lead vocals and guitar work anchor the band’s sound. He is joined by a talented ensemble of musicians: Jake Edwards-Wood on keys, Louis Munro on bass guitar, Charlie Morton on guitar, and Jermaine Whyte on drums. Together, they create an exhilarating live experience that showcases their deep musical chemistry and passion.

Over the past ten years, The Zealots have established themselves as a formidable presence on the music scene, regularly releasing new material and captivating audiences with their electrifying performances. Currently, they hold a residency in Crystal Palace, where they not only debut new work but also collaborate with artists that they are currently working with.

With roots firmly planted in London, The Zealots have also been working alongside a diverse array of artists from around the globe, bringing a wealth of experience and inspiration to their craft. Their journey is marked by a dedication to pushing musical boundaries while remaining true to their soulful essence.
