ZA-EL Gospel Choir is a professional gospel choir led by artist Elvis E. The group consists of a diverse ensemble of professional singers with incredible voices and radiant performances. ZA-EL Gospel Choir knows how to convey its music in a unique way. The journey of ZA-EL Gospel Choir began in early 2022. As music director of the EO program *Amazing Grace*, Elvis E was tasked with putting together a choir. He selected the best vocalists from his network, who sang over thirty gospel and pop songs across five episodes. During *Amazing Grace*, the choir stood out—not only for its beautiful sound, but also for its flawless looks and professional demeanor. After *Amazing Grace*, Elvis E received an increasing number of requests to feature his “*Amazing Grace* choir.” Following this success, Elvis E came up with a name for his ambitious choir. He woke up with the name “Zaël” in his head. In Hebrew, Zaël means “gift from God.” Through their voices and performances, the ZA-EL Gospel Choir shares God’s gift: pure love. Since then, the group has shared its powerful music on prestigious stages. Examples include TV programs such as “Concert for Change” (NPO), “Kerstduetten” (NPO), “The Talent Scout” (SBS), and “Ranking the Talent” (SBS), where the ZA-EL Gospel Choir won episode 2 in the Singing category. The choir has also performed on a number of Hour of Power tours, a series of Gospel Celebrations, the reopening of Paleis Het Loo, the May 5 concert on the Amstel, and Nicky Romero’s “Nightvision” show at AFAS Live. No matter where the ZA-EL Gospel Choir performs, this group is on a mission. The vocalists are far from done spreading God’s love. And with all those incredible voices, beautiful hearts, and radiant looks, they can keep it up for a long time to come.
