Meet Zakarot

Zakarot — born Zach Henson in Nashville, TN — is an artist and DJ whose work blends anime storytelling, emotional rap, and Southern underground energy. He began releasing music as a teenager, dropping tracks on SoundCloud under the name "Zakarot" and building his early following with projects such as Anime Rapper, Forest of Souls, and a remix of XXXTENTACION's changes.

His sound evolved into a unique space where melodic hooks, high-speed flows, and cinematic world-building coexist. He has appeared on collaborative releases like "Nashville Freestyle #1", where he stood out for his animated delivery and emotional punch.

As a DJ, he has taken his sound across the world — performing in Manhattan, Miami, Art Basel, Germany, Bosnia (three years running), and throughout Nashville's underground scene. His live shows blend rap, DJ'ing, anime references, and emotional buildups that create the experience of watching a story unfold in real time.

For fans of anime culture, emotional rap, and authentic 615 grit, Zakarot delivers a world you can step into.
