JZyNO launched his professional career in 2019, inspired by Kendrick Lamar through a dream he had in 2013. In 2020, he gained fame in Liberia and became the first new artist to receive five nominations for his song 'Kpan Kpan Me,' which featured his former label mate Teddyride, shortly after releasing the hit single, JZyNO was dropped by his former label, motivating him to thrive as an independent artist from 2020 till date, a journey that has been difficult but he preserved.

It was also played at the NBA finals and during Barcelona’s Champions League opening match against Monaco.
