Hey, I’m Zel.

​

I write songs and perform for a living.

​

Most people know me as the frontman of December Avenue, but there’s a lot more I’ve been exploring outside the band.

​

These days, I spend most of my time writing and producing music from home. I’m learning to trust the process more and let things be imperfect as long as they feel honest. I still care about making good work, but I care more about making something real.

​

I also work in design, photography, writing, and clothing. They give me other ways to express ideas that don’t always belong in a song.

​

Outside of work, I’m a husband, a father, and a keeper of koi and bonsai. Lately, I’ve also been spending most of my free time fishing. These things help me slow down, pay attention, and appreciate the quiet.

​

This website is where I keep the things I’ve made and the things I’m still working on. It’s a small look into my life, my work, and whatever comes next.

​

Thanks for being here. I hope you find something that stays with you.

​

With Love,
