Mainly known for his smooth vocals, mellow stripped production, and loving lyrics, Zaki Shabazz is a native of Portsmouth, Virginia, in the United States. Although the singer, rapper, songwriter and producer's sound is primarily rooted in R & B, Soul, and Hip Hop, various elements from many genres of music can be found within his songs.
"Writing of all kinds has influenced me. Everything from the vulnerability of Michael Jackson...the sensuality of Prince...to the prose of Shakespeare and Rumi. The simple melodies of The Beatles...the raw emotion of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye...the grittiness of Nas...the power of Bob Marley...cerebral sounds of Radiohead...modern swing of J-Dilla...or the raw soul of D'angelo."
"I just love music. Everything from listening to it for entertainment to creating my own. I may sing, I may rap, I may play or I may just speak. That changes...but my love for music and writing doesn't. Hopefully, others can experience joy from my music."
