Day 2 | Momo Festival | ZEP

The name ZEP is short and snappy and really, doesn’t quite encompass his many outrageous talents. Standing at 6’9, he could have easily become a hooper in another life. However, he’d much rather use a basketball to create a thumping beat on stage. Or wield an upright bass like a guitar (!). The guy can even create something musical out of a traffic cone or trash can, believe it or not. Think of an outlandish stage scenario and ZEP has probably already entertained it. In fact, he’s a born entertainer whose combustible, adrenaline-fueled mishmash of hip-hop, breakbeat, punk and dance has turned many heads in just a short amount of time. An independent artist with a rapidly escalating following on Instagram and TikTok, ZEP has become what is called a grassroots sensation, selling out self-produced shows in Berlin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London and Paris.
