zeauk, also known as Zeus Rectra, is a Kuala Lumpur-based Filipino independent musician and visual artist. Following a creative divergence, zeauk established his name and built an online following through visual arts and creative direction in 2016, before venturing into the music scene in 2018.

Influenced by the French concept of “water” (eau), zeauk’s artist name reflects the music he makes; mutable and sublime, sustaining and destructive. The merge between that and his given name expresses the battle between what is perceived and its reality; one’s intimate self and identity. He blends contemporary R&B that breezes between melancholic tunes and blissful pop to convey his vision of musical intimacy.

Through his songwriting and consistent song releases, he gained notoriety in Southeast Asia’s music and creative space after having the opportunity to be featured on Discover Weekly and a majority of Spotify’s New Music Friday playlists across the region; sparking further pursuance to release more tracks and collaborate with different creative artists independently. Eventually, his presence in Kuala Lumpur was strengthened with continuous radio features and interviews.

zeauk currently seeks to shift his musical concept towards his roots, drawing inspiration from some of his favorite artists and producers such as – Bryson Tiller, Jason Dhakal, GIRIBOY, and Crush – to name a few.
