Z!n!

Akamo Jamiu Opeyemi, better known as Z!n!, is a rising star in the music world, blending pop, R&B, and Afrobeats into a sound he calls Purplefro. This genre-defying style draws inspiration from a broad spectrum of influences—from Afrobeat icons like Lagbaja, Yinka Aiyefele, D'banj, to global superstars such as Alicia Keys, Neyo, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Drake, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and more. Z!n! also finds inspiration in artists like Styl Plus, Nelly, and Sia, who have all contributed to shaping his eclectic musical style. His music is a reflection of his diverse upbringing, combining global sounds with a distinctive local flavor.

Born in Sango Ota, Ogun State, and having spent much of his life across Ogun and Lagos states, Z!n!’s sound is influenced not only by the global artists he grew up listening to but also by the dynamic culture of his home country. The vibrant energy of both Ogun and Lagos has clearly left its mark on his music, which effortlessly blends local and international influences.

Z!n!’s connection to the color purple has always been a defining part of his identity, long before his music career began. "Purple is me, and I am purple in all shades," he says. This bond with the color is more than just an aesthetic choice—it’s a part of who he is, deeply woven into his artistic persona. He also draws a parallel between his brand and his love for the sea, embracing themes of fluidity, depth, and constant evolution in both his life and work.🌊💜
