Fresh Prospects: antransax / Zwonaka

The Red Room at Cafe 939 proudly presents Fresh Prospects, a free concert series spotlighting emerging artists. Curated by Berklee students with an ear for talent, this series offers an intimate glimpse into the music scene’s future, featuring local performers making waves and capturing attention.

antransax is a rising artist, producer, and saxophonist from Vietnam whose genre-blending sound bridges jazz, pop, and electronic music. She doesn’t stop at writing and producing her own music—she is also an accomplished saxophonist whose expressive tone and improvisational style reflect her deep roots in jazz. Known for her ability to perform, sing, and play saxophone live, she embodies a seamless fusion of musicianship and stage presence. 

With a background shaped by jazz and contemporary production and a passion for live performance, antransax represents a new generation of genre-fluid artists redefining what it means to be a true artist and performer today.

Zwonaka is a singer, producer, and visual director from Johannesburg, South Africa, who intertwines forward-facing music and visuals to evoke complex emotions. 

“I’ve been making my own music since I was 14 and have been chasing that initial feeling ever since. I write about the things that often go unsaid—in my own life or in the lives of others. Whether I’m using Play-Doh to trigger drum sounds or writing songs on my guitar, I use my music to express what connects us all. My newer work takes a more Afro-futuristic approach, where my pop vocals lead a band of African instruments layered over my signature electronic textures," said Zwonaka.
