Zii and the Experience: Live at The Count's

In the prime of their creative blossoming, The Experience unites a cohort of soon-to-be legendary musicians, bound by the desire to heal and inspire through their art. ZII, a multifaceted rapper and poet, heeds his father’s wisdom to harness the power of culture for collective encouragement amidst the tribulations that marked the world in 2020.

Wordlessly composing a suite of dynamic and exciting pieces, ZII seeks to capture the ineffable spirit of a world grappling with pandemic and racial awakening. This musical endeavour coalesces into The Experience, a quintet that breathes life into these melodies, infusing them with hope through the medium of Spiritual and Afro-Jazz. For these five artists, the union of music and culture serves as a conduit for healing.

Their live performances invite audiences to shed the weight of the past, dancing to the percussive beats and swaying to the melodies that mirror the unique tapestry of each individual’s experience.
