We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Zay a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Zay thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is my latest album Potential. After 1 full year of doing shows and competitions. I dropped a new album with a feature on each track and each artist featured was from my hometown. It was a personal collaborative album for me and explored so many sounds and emotions.
Zay, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
For those who don’t know me I’m usually a lot to take in. My personality is very vibrant and my energy is contagious. I was nervous when I first starting pursuing my music career however people believed in me more than I believed in myself. So once I convinced myself nothing can stop me now. From traveling from state to state and networking along the way I’m so proud of myself and I hope that others see all the hard work applied and know that you can have whatever you want in life as long as you apply yourself.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I built my social media up from the ground through posting content everyday. Sometimes you get 5 likes but eventually they’ll grow especially when you show your authentic self.
Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?
Some non creatives. Well in my personal experience it’s usually the people closest to you who judge your decisions. Yes it’s fun to perform and receive positive feedback, however, it’s a 100% financial commitment if you truly want to excel in the industry.
