King Hopeton (Horace Campbell) was born March 25th on the beautiful island of St Ann, Jamaica West Indies. He started playing music at the age of 4 after watching an old woman on piano playing “Come Back Charlie” a classical piece. After she got up, he sat down and started playing the same piece of music as though he had played it before. When the lady came back and saw him playing, she immediately started to teach him and from that day all became history.
His unique style is directly influenced by Classical music and Reggae roots where his work embodies elements of Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Ska, Gospel, Alternative, Rock, Irish and Pop music. In addition to playing the piano, he also is multi-talented playing the Drums, Acoustic, Electric, Bass Guitar, and Organ.

Zi’s humble demeanor belies his heavyweight status on the African and American music scenes. Zi was recognized with two awards; “Best Zimbabwean Musician in the US” and “People’s Choice” in the spring of 2021.
