Check Out Zavier’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Zavier.

Hi Zavier, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I have been doing music seriously for about five years, and I’ve been singing for most of my life. I grew up in church so I was always singing in the musicals. Growing up in church is also what lead me to playing piano when I was 13. It sounds crazy when I tell people but I learned how to play piano from a dream. I woke up and knew how to play “Fur Elise” by Beethoven. Since I was good at piano, people ended up knowing me for that and that how I met Lil Nunu. He is who I started producing with and he is also my engineer. From that point, I just kept on working to perfect the craft. Later on, when I was 16 I taught myself how to play guitar. When I graduated, I got a midi keyboard and a MacBook Pro and that’s when I started producing and not too long after, I had gone into my first session where I recorded for the first time where I met one of my closest friends, Hit Wxnder who helped me learn to start engineering myself.

Once I got the hang of everything, I just kept getting better and now I’m part of a dope producer team called “The Wav Godz” mentored by Mr. Wilson on the Beat. Together we’ve got placements with Kap G, Phor from Black Ink Crew: Chicago, Fetty Wap, and more. I also produced the hit single “Bands” by upcoming artist, Dayway. The song was remixed by Joe Moses, Compton Av, and Mike Jay. Last year I was a part of a duo where we had released a couple of songs. This year I decided to go solo and I have released four singles. Two of those I produced and co-produced. But my favorite song I have would be “Love Letter” Produced by Cormill. I really like this song because there was a lot of emotion put into it and it really helped me to get through a lot of the things I was going through at that time.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
In all honesty, it’s been a long road and I personally went through a lot but I wouldn’t change it for anything. When I was younger, I battled depression and suicidal thoughts constantly up until this year. I still have my moments but I’d definitely say I’m in a better place now. Dealing with depression didn’t stop me from doing my music though. I put everything on a track whether it was released or unreleased. This year especially was rough. Aside from COVID shutting the world down, I was also in a bad accident where I had totaled my car. In the accident, I had also lost my guitar. Now things are going a lot smoother and I’m in a better place mentally. There was one time when I had lost every single beat I made and I lost all of my plugins. So I had to do a full restart. Even though I went through what I went through, It still made me who I am today and I would never change that.

Can you give our readers some background on your music?
I am a singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer. One of the things I specialize in and that I’m definitely proud of would be coming up with harmonies. I’ve even done vocal arrangements for a couple of people and also my sister, MJay, who is a singer and also my photographer. I also specialize in being able to learn by ear. Thats how I learned songs majority of the time on the piano when I was growing up. I’m known for being very passionate about my music and also for my work ethic. I would describe my music as very all-around. I have songs where I’m singing and more on a slow vibe. Then I have songs where I’m rapping and it’s on more of an upbeat, turnt type of sound like my single “I Ain’t Worried” ft. Kyra Walls. I also have songs like “Ride for Me” where I do both. I can really come out with any type of song I want because I’m so versatile. Whether it’s producing or being an artist, I’m always experimenting with new sounds which is also what separates me from other artists.
