Vocally, ZT delivers with a commanding baritone that exudes both warmth and authority. His performance draws the listener in, ensuring every line lands with emotional weight. There’s a maturity to his vocal approach that belies his emerging status in the R&B scene.

“My music is about storytelling from my own perspective as a human. This song reflects my party life, but other records I’ve made tell stories of true heartache. Both sides exist in me, and they intertwine in ways I think a lot of people can relate to.”

“AFTER PARTY / AFTER HOURS” announces ZT as a compelling voice in modern R&B. With influences ranging from The Weeknd to Giveon, he channels inspiration without imitation, producing a track that is both accessible and artistically ambitious. This is R&B with depth, polish, and undeniable presence.
