Hi Zey Chalz, Thanks for taking out time to share your experience in the music industry with us and your fans.
Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
When I was seven my parents had just divorced and I used to spend a lot of time with my mom listening to house music(urban techno) and RnB. Her favorites at the time were R.Kelly and Janet Jackson. She got me a keyboard and I started taking lessons, and singing in the school choir. I had my first vocal solo the following year.
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
Dark. I tend to create from my pain and stressful life experiences, both instrumentally and vocally.
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
Study the people that inspire you. Learn and understand what it is you want to be in this world. Be original, work harder than everyone else and be true to yourself.
What quote or mantra do you live by?
If you want to be great, you have to be grateful.
What is your hobby outside of music?
Time with family.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Stress free.
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why. Please share a story or example for each.
Not everyone is your friend. Learn how to separate business and friendship, Most people want something for nothing.
Understand what you are, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
I moved to Los Angeles when I was 24 with about $800 in my pocket, enough to get a room, food and a job.
After a few months I was signed to an independent label as a producer, songwriter, engineer and didn’t realize how much value I brought to the team.
I constantly allowed people to take advantage of me thinking it would help me gain new opportunities in my career, and a lot of times it did, but what I learned is constantly underestimating your worth with the wrong people will leave you with nothing or worse, dead.
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
Focus on what you love and understand your strengths and weaknesses. If you do that you will understand where you need help and how you can properly assist others.
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
I’m performing at an event next month in Atlanta, GA where I will be painting in front of a live audience, showcasing some of my music and art.
What is the inspiration behind your latest song?
My song, “Fake Luv”, Has a message that hard work pays off, be true to yourself, and people around you. Have low expectations of others, and know life is not always easy.

Chris Brown Strikes Back: A $500M Legal Battle Against Warner Bros Over Controversial Docuseries
Chris Brown is making headlines with a massive $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and a production company called Ample Entertainment. He says their new docuseries, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” is filled with exaggerations about him. This lawsuit, filed on January 21, places Brown at the center of a hot debate about how the media tells stories about public figures.
The docuseries focuses on his troubled past, featuring controversial moments that have shaped how the public views him. However, Brown’s team claims that it goes beyond just telling facts. They argue that it uses misleading claims that hurt his reputation. His legal team feels that the series paints him negatively, ignoring how he has grown since past incidents.
Throughout his career, he has been a celebrated musician, dancer, and figure surrounded by controversy. As of now, Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have not responded to the lawsuit. However, this case raises important questions about what filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when telling stories about real people. For Brown, this lawsuit is not just about seeking money; it’s about taking control of how his life story is shared.
He feels frustrated with an entertainment industry that, focuses more on drama than the truth. Reactions to his lawsuit have been mixed. Some supporters argue that the media often emphasizes Brown’s wrongdoings while ignoring his creative contributions. Critics, however, see the lawsuit as an effort to avoid facing honest criticism. As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that Chris Brown is not just after $500 million; he’s also fighting for how his life story is perceived. Whether he will win this battle remains uncertain, but it is already creating discussions about the influence of the media.
