Биография

Starting off recording songs in his parents basement at the age of 14, - to winning awards for producing music for local hip-hop artists in Cleveland, Ohio, - to getting radio play and selling out venues as a solo artist, ZuPs love for music is evident. Inspired by a range of different genres and sounds, ZuP doesn’t like to pigeonhole himself into any one category when it comes to his music. Using inspiration from his life and people around him, his main goal is to write songs that will tap into the listener's emotions and connect at a deeper level. There is no better feeling than putting on a song and feeling like the musician wrote it just for you and that is what ZuP specializes in. After 10 years since the release of his debut album “Room to Grow” and taking 6 years off of music - ZuP is back, releasing his sophomore album “For Me”. A lot has happened since then and this album is a window into that story. From the opening track “Lost and Found” ZuP sets the mood, painting a picture of loss, regret, and grief. After that, this album will take you on a ride from healing on “Recharge”, “Couch”, and “Lightning Rod” to finding love on “Better Off”, “Vintage Soul” and “Fingerprints” to confronting difficult situations on “Control” (alongside local rapper Veeno), and the loss of his mother on “Unexpressed Love”. “For Me” is an album that shows tremendous growth, heart, and inspiration and is a love letter to anyone who has been a fan of his music.
