Zachariah Messiah was born in Coral Springs, FL on August 10, 1995 and while he was attending elementary he moved to West Palm. Writing music and doing breakdance moves like “Michael Jackson” when Zachariah was 10 were one of his most memorable moments in life. He has a love for soft rock and Bobby Caldwell, French and British classical music in 2008/09. Releasing “Young and alive” in 2017 was his mental break through with a vision to create and break sound. He also spent time developing hobbies such as painting jeans and shredding fabrics in high school.

Curating and singing for hours day in and through the night was his lifestyle in Orlando. No sleep, only art! Classical music sucked him in and live sound kept him sane.

Currently living in Miami to come out the shadows with this sound he’s been developing the last 4 years! With 70’s/80’s dancehall / Rock / hip hop sounding records like “Lola”, “Closer” and now “Boof” just released February 4th 2021(intertwining and still cultivating his original basement sound from a youth & now the bashment chapped sound). The indescribable emotions and electricity that runs through his veins when he hear music parallels in far out of reality and into a world where often times he have to be shocking basically by those around to get back into!

He’s never written a song digitally, it’s always been on paper. He didn’t care about what he had to use to write his music, he’d sometimes use crayons or napkins if he didn’t have a paper and pencil. As long as his music was written down he was satisfied. Refusing to fall into the visual of typing his life, he’d rather write his story.
