Zzz. is an emerging voice in the alternative hip-hop scene, hailing from Miami, Florida. Blending raw emotion with genre-defying soundscapes, Zzz. has carved out a lane that’s entirely his own. He began making music at just 16, using it as a way to express personal struggles and the weight of being overlooked—a theme that inspired his stage name. “Zzz.” reflects how others once slept on his potential, a feeling he now flips into fuel for his art.
His music paints vivid stories of heartbreak, growth, and resilience, often carried by melodic flows and heartfelt lyrics. His debut EP, SAM, showcased his range and storytelling skills, with tracks like “U GIRL” and “WHEN U WRONG” (featuring NoCap) earning buzz for their emotional depth. He’s also teamed up with notable artists like Trippie Redd on “Sad and Alone” and Bankrol Hayden for their 2021 track “Penthouse,” further cementing his rising status.
Zzz. caught the attention of industry heavyweight DJ Khaled, who praised the young artist’s lyrical sharpness and natural musicality. What’s even more impressive? Much of Zzz.’s early work was created on a dated version of GarageBand—proof of his dedication and DIY spirit.
Influenced by artists like Juice WRLD, Drake, Ed Sheeran, and Iann Dior, Zzz. blends vulnerability with versatility. As he continues to grow and experiment with his sound, one thing remains clear: Zzz. is wide awake—and the world is starting to take notice.
