Zoi (CA)

Zoi (CA) was born in Karachi, Pakistan and helped cultivate his local electronic music scene by creating safe spaces for Pakistani revellers to experience techno and house music. He eventually moved to Toronto, Canada, where he pursued technical training in sound while developing a knack for music production. As a producer, Zoi focuses on creating complex soundscapes and deep melodies; all characterized by ethereal twilight overtones. Equal parts musician, and equal parts sound engineer, Zoi endeavours to capture ethereal and moody sounds that aim to embody the complexities of human experience. Zoi launched his music career as one-half of Talal & Zoi (T&Z), a duo that gained traction in the electronic scene with releases featured on Dirtybird, Kindisch, Dantze, Rawthentic Music and Moodfamily. The Pakistani born DJ has performed worldwide with names such as KaterBlau (Berlin, DE), Keizerpark Open Air (Ghent, BE), Bushwick's Bogart House (Brooklyn, NY), Igloofest (Montreal, CA) and Electric Island (Toronto, CA), under his belt. Zoi invests himself in nurturing Toronto's music scene through his collective "Untold Stories". A project that has hosted artists such as Kamaal Williams/Henry Wu, Glenn Astro, Maribou State, Nabihah Iqbal and Dauwd.
