About
Zene

By Rizwan Sayyed, Founder of Zene

Like most music lovers, I was just trying to enjoy my favorite songs—but every few minutes, an ad would kill the vibe. It wasn't just annoying—it was frustrating. I considered going premium, but then came the price tag: $10 to $15 per month, just to remove ads. And that's just for music.

Want to watch music videos? That's another app. Into podcasts or radio? More subscriptions. And even after paying, you still don't get access to everything in one place. That never made sense to me.

Now imagine this—you're a college student or even a working professional. You don't bother with subscriptions; you just tolerate the ads. One day, you meet someone special, you're about to share that perfect song 💖… and boom, a loud, awkward ad crashes the moment. We've all been there, right?

That's when it really hit me—music should bring people closer, not create awkward silences. So, I decided to build something better.

Zene was born out of this frustration and a dream:

A single platform where you can listen to songs, watch music videos, tune into podcasts and radio—all without interruptions. 98% of users, Zene is completely free—with zero ads. And for the 2% of true music lovers who want even more? Zene Premium is refreshingly affordable—hidden fees, no overpriced tiers, just great music, unlocked.
