Guess who's back, back again? Yep — Zach is back, and we couldn’t be more excited (though we might poke fun at how dengue turned him into a skinny legend 😅).

In this feel-good, soul-lifting episode, our bassist and founding Zelotone opens up about his journey — from growing up with vision impairment to navigating life as a legally blind teen. Zach gets real about the emotional rollercoaster: the loneliness, the uncertainty… and how music became his therapy, compass, and superpower. 🎶✨

He takes us back to the Zelotones' humble beginnings in 2017 — when a group of passionate dreamers came together with nothing but heart, hustle, and a whole lotta rhythm. 🥁💫

We also dive into what independence really means, especially for persons with disabilities. Spoiler alert: It’s not always the fastest route, but it’s their route — and it’s filled with laughter, learning, and late-night jams.

So grab your headphones, get comfy, and join us for an inspiring, hilarious, and heartwarming ride through resilience, rediscovery, and rocking on — no matter what life throws your way.

🎧 Zelocast Ep. 4: "Independent But Not Alone"
Ready to challenge what independence really means? In this feel-good and eye-opening episode, Zyana, Alex, and Ben (with Zach resting up from a bout of dengue—feel better, bro!) get real about navigating life with disabilities—on their own terms.

💪 From running the band without a manager (yes, they do it all—music, PR, networking, studio setups, admin—you name it!) to handling daily life with grace, humor, and hustle, the Zelotones prove you can be independent and uplifted by a strong support crew.

🎹 Ben shares how he powers through life post-accident (yep, he's jogging now!). 🚌 Alex schools us on Singapore's bus routes like a transit boss. 🧼 Zyana spills the tea on blind-cooking adventures, exploding glass mugs, and her husband’s detergent disasters. Who knew independence could be this entertaining?

💡 They remind us that true independence isn’t doing everything solo—it’s knowing when to own it and when to tag in some help (especially when crossing roads without traffic lights!).

This episode is packed with laughter, love, life lessons, and a whole lot of heart. So if you’ve ever wondered how people with disabilities crush stereotypes and daily chores, this one’s for you.

Ever heard of the word “merajuk”? It’s Malay for sulking—and let’s just say our drummer Alex (aka Iskandar) wears the nickname a little too well 👀😆

With Zach on a short recovery break, Alex, Zyana & Ben take center stage to spill some tea and drop some beats. Alex opens up about life with Retinitis Pigmentosa, how he went from feeling like the odd one out in primary school to finding his rhythm (literally!) at a specialized school.

You’ll hear how he traded his bass for a drum kit, took lessons, and found his groove—contributing to the band’s “compact” chemistry. And yes, expect dry humor, sound effect surprises, and classic Alex-style interjections that keep the band (and this episode) full of laughs.

🎤 Friendship, feels, and a few fuzzy stage monitor moments—this one’s got it all.

🎙️ Welcome to Episode 2 of Zelocast: Glow with the Flow – "Ben & Zyana: Heart of the Keys, Soul of the Voice"!

In this heartfelt episode, music meets meaning as the Zelotones continue to share their inspiring journeys of resilience and creativity.

Host Alex sits down with Ben, the band’s remarkable keyboardist and “jukebox,” who began his musical journey after a life-changing hit-and-run accident at age 14. Despite cognitive and physical challenges, Ben sees his past as a "blessing in disguise," mastering Grade 8 piano and even composing the podcast’s original background music.

Next, meet Zyana, the band’s vibrant vocalist and rhythm guitarist. After developing juvenile glaucoma at age 9, she learned to memorize musical scores, self-taught herself guitar, and became a competition-winning performer. Zyana’s story is one of empowerment—choosing joy over regret and using her voice to uplift others.

Together, Ben and Zyana reflect on their creative collaboration, the supportive family-like bond within the Zelotones, and how their shared love of music inspires inclusion, independence, and growth.
