Z&T is the duo formed by Zouz and T.A., two slam poets. For the past three years, alongside hosting several open mics, they’ve been performing their slams across Belgium and abroad—on stages such as Le 140, Le 210, Jacques Franck, the Esperanzah Festival, Maison Poème, Espace Magh, Le Delta, the Molenbeek Cultural Centre, the Cultural Centre of Walloon Brabant, and the Fête de la Musique.

Both active members of the Slameke collective, Zouz and Théa met during an impromptu slam in the Brussels metro. They immediately recognized their shared realities, energies, and activism.

In May 2020, as a last resort in response to sexist harassment, they released their first duo track: “Chers harceleurs, merci”. The release generated strong support from Brussels’ hip-hop and feminist scenes. Since then, they’ve continued their journey together.

Z&T is also a duo working to energize the Belgian slam scene through workshops, especially with teenagers and women’s groups.

On stage, they are joined by electro-acoustic musician Antonin Simon (aka Ya$ka), who creates immersive beats and soundscapes inspired by urban environments and spoken word.

Their slam/rap collection Beat’ume was published by Éditions Maelström in February 2023 and their most recent collection ‘Sur le Boulevard’ was published in 2024 by Midis Poésie.
