Growing up in London, he spent his nights in the embrace of the UK’s storied club and underground party scene. Touching down in Los Angeles in 2003 after DJ-ing one of the hottest Golden Globes® parties, he quietly emerged as an in-demand musical presence and a pioneer in the global metropolitan club scene. Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, and Vanity Fair sought out his curation, while Cartier, Burberry, Audi and Louis XIII enlisted him as a music supervisor. Hundreds of exclusive parties followed, with events for the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Elton John, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, at venues ranging from Sundance Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival to Cannes Film Festival. At the same time, he headlined solo residencies at Las Vegas mega clubs XS Nightclub, Encore Beach Club, Zouk Nightclub, Ayu Dayclub and Voltaire. He effectively established himself as the first luxury brand DJ to tour worldwide and grace the stages of festivals on multiple continents.

Building up a catalog of original compositions, Zen has generated tens of millions of streams, collaborated with Fred Falke, Todd Edwards, Ten Ven, and Picard Brothers, and released tracks on West End Records, Higher Ground, Defected, Atlantic Records, and Sony Music. He’s attracted the support of Calvin Harris, Diplo, A-Trak, Disclosure, and Pete Tong. In 2024, he continued to sharpen his signature style with his latest remix of Calvin Harris & Rag’n’Bone Man’s “Lovers In A Past Life.” Powered by retro synthesizers and nineties drum machines, it nods to turn-of-the-century French house with a straightforward yet unshakable groove.

Zen Freeman’s clients are assured that whether he is playing a private fête for Sean Penn or Brad Pitt, Budweiser's London Olympics closing party, the Monaco Grand Prix after-party, or at one of his residencies, his brand certainly adds cachet and makes it buzzworthy. Zen leaves an inimitable imprint on everything he does.
