About ZikiNero
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. After moving to the U.S. at age 10, I began my musical journey at 11, experimenting with production in my dad’s home studio. My passion for music led me to learn drums and piano, skills that landed me a weekly gig playing drums at my church.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Focalistic, 13 POS Master KG, Nkosazana Daughter, Wanitwa Mos, Makhelwane - Single TxC, A Fierce Piano These three albums resonate with me on a deeper level. I’m currently immersed in Amapiano, and I’m captivated by its distinct production and sound. The way these albums embody the genre really speaks to me.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Red Flags” Red Flags is special to me because I produced the beat myself, marking one of the first Amapiano tracks I ever created. I poured my heart into this project, from crafting the beat to designing the cover art and creating the lyric video for YouTube.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? In 2015, I was recognized as the Best Youngest Music Producer, marking a significant milestone in my career. By the age of 18, I established a professional Music studio in Lowell downtown, reflecting my growth and commitment to my craft.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I’ve got a lot left on my artist bucket list, and I know I need to tackle it step by step. My next big milestone is definitely releasing my first official studio album.
