In the vibrant landscape of Indian music, one name is resonating deeply—Zayvan. Hailing from Assam in northeastern India, this talented artist captivates audiences with his unique sound and powerful messages. His musical journey began at the age of six when he penned his first song. However, it was not until he turned 16 and embraced his faith that he truly began to explore his musical identity.
As a young man navigating life’s complexities, Zayvan worked as a receptionist to support his passion for music. This determination led him to book studio time, and in 2019, he recorded a worship song that set the stage for his future endeavors. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that would see his music reach audiences far beyond his small town.
The breakthrough moment
A significant turning point in Zayvan’s career occurred when he envisioned collaborating with Bridge Music, a prominent entity in the Indian worship scene. After a year of sharing his work online, Zayvan’s cover caught their attention, leading to a pivotal connection. At around 19 or 20 years old, he released the song “Chattan (The Rock),” which quickly became an anthem for churches across India.
Friendship and collaboration
During his musical journey, Zayvan crossed paths with Keross Music. Although their initial connection did not lead to collaboration right away, persistence paid off after a year and a half. When they finally reunited, the chemistry was undeniable. In just 45 minutes, they crafted the song “Tu Aaya,” showcasing their creative synergy.
For Zayvan, building genuine friendships within the music industry is crucial. He values constructive feedback from peers like Keross, fostering a collaborative process that enhances their music. The duo’s recent releases reflect a blend of R&B and pop influences, marking a new direction in Zayvan’s artistic evolution.
Overcoming challenges in production
Creating music often presents obstacles, and Zayvan faced a significant one during the production of the music video for “Tu Aaya.” After missing his flight, he had to make last-minute arrangements to ensure that the shoot could proceed as planned, given the long distance traveled by his team, including the director and production crew. This determination underscores Zayvan’s commitment to his craft and the importance of collaboration in the music industry.
Unexpected impact on youth
One of the most heartwarming aspects of Zayvan’s music has been its reach among younger audiences. He was pleasantly surprised to receive messages from parents whose children were singing along to his songs. The unexpected popularity of his music in cafés and restaurants, many of which are not affiliated with Christianity, highlights the universal appeal of his message. Zayvan hopes to continue bringing his music to those who may not have encountered it before.
Looking ahead: a vision for the future
As Zayvan reflects on his journey, he envisions a future for Christian music in India that breaks into the mainstream, incorporating traditional Indian sounds, R&B, and various other genres. His aspiration is to create music that resonates deeply with audiences—music that conveys messages of hope, truth, healing, and purpose.
His next release, titled ‘Tuta’, is already generating excitement. With numerous projects in the pipeline, Zayvan remains focused on using his gift to positively impact lives. He emphasizes that for him, music is not about fame or numbers; it is about its transformative power on individuals.
Zayvan exemplifies the idea that passion, faith, and hard work can pave the way for success. His journey from a small town in India to becoming a noteworthy figure in the worship scene illustrates the impact of music as a vehicle for change. As he continues to create and innovate, listeners can anticipate a future filled with inspiring and meaningful music.
