< Info >
Zeno Lee is an Italian singer and songwriter.
Throughout his life journey, Zeno grew up with an international mindset in multiple countries. He’s a hardcore gamer who's been into Japanese pop culture and music since 1999.
Around that time (using a not-so-fast Internet Explorer) he also discovered several artists from different areas of Asia, which is where his main role models come from.
Zeno started to write and produce his own tracks in 2012 and made his solo debut in 2019.
As an artist, Zeno Lee developed his own sonic identity which he named “Digipop” (Digital Pop), and his goal is to highlight the beauty of artistic and cultural diversities through electronic music.
​
Zeno also loves astronomy and often includes space-related elements and metaphors in his lyrics.
< Naming >
“Zeno Lee” is a stage name that aims to connect East and West and was born in 2012, after the artist recorded his first track. The exact meaning behind its two elements is:
Zeno
comes from Italo Svevo’s “Zeno’s Conscience”, whose protagonist doesn’t fully align with the society surrounding him and from Disney's “Zenon – Girl of the 21st Century”, an early connection to astronomy
Lee
represents a link to Asia, which made the songwriter get into music and entertainment while growing up, influencing him both artistically and culturally
< Digipop >
Zeno's passion for videogames and technology led him to add 8bit sounds to his style: Digipop.
Zeno’s music is an avant-garde patchwork of genres, spacing from Hyperpop to EDM, with a pinch of Italian anime openings from the early 00s.
