The Evolution of Zayd.

 In his darkest days, it was always music that pulled him through. Zayd is a new kind of rocker one who wants to be a shining light giving others the courage to look at their own mental health through his lyrics. “I see music as a cause, a way to empower, to fight for your own mental health.” Zayd’s life has been touched by suicide both in his immediate circle and in his heroes Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. The prairie rocker doesn’t shy away from struggle instead he channels it into a battle cry. Sexual assault, depression, child abuse, he taps into the emotional turmoil of life to create. “These things, they don’t discriminate. My music is about trauma, fighting with yourself, being different and how to cope. The only way I can keep myself and others on the right track is through my music. That’s my therapy.” The moment he picked up a guitar, Zayd experienced the power music has to heal. He’s spent the last decade honing his craft in various groups first as a guitarist than as a songwriter. After all that time in the shadows, Zayd’s going solo with his original music. A rebirth that represents who he is and what he believes in. From the raging guitar licks of his brand-new single Father to soul and EDM influences, Zayd crosses the barriers of traditional music genres. He won’t stop until he’s done the same with his audience.  “Each song, each story has the power to connect with people. I want my message of mental health and self-care to spread throughout the world to all people. Take what you need from it, push on.”
