Hey, I’m Zel.

 

I write songs and perform for a living.

 

If you’ve landed here, welcome. This space offers a glimpse into the world I’ve been slowly building through sound, images, and the moments in between.

 

You might know me as the frontman of December Avenue, but beyond the stage, my work extends into quieter, more personal territory. I write, produce, and release music independently, explore visual expression through design and photography, and founded my own clothing brand shaped by restraint, intention, and detail.

 

Music remains my anchor. Every lyric and melody begins with something real. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to create work that has found its way into people’s lives, often in moments that mattered. That’s something I hold with gratitude.

 

Lately, I’ve been leaning further into authorship. Recording at home, producing my own work, and allowing the process to remain imperfect as long as it stays honest. I’m not chasing polish. I’m chasing truth.

 

Outside of work, I’m a husband, a father, and a keeper of koi and bonsai. These slow rituals ground me. They shape how I observe, how I listen, and how I create.

 

This website serves as my living portfolio. A place where my work in music, design, photography, and writing can exist together.

 

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

With Love,
