Polymath artist Baloji was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and grew up in Belgium. Baloji continually defies categorization, bringing his passion and hybrid approach to his various creative projects.

Baloji wrote, art-directed, and styled the film and it features two tracks from his most recent album 137 Avenue Kaniama. Zombies won numerous awards and selection at the London Film Festival, was chosen as Short of the Year by MUBI, and won Best Styling at the UKMVAs. He was selected as Creative of the Year by NOWNES
