We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful ZAR . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with ZAR below.
ZAR , looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
I’ve always had the desire to be great at anything I decided to do. So I would work and work and work hard until I got good at whatever is was that I wanted to be great at.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
My name is ZAR & I’m a singer/ songwriter in Atlanta. Songwriting is like a release. An escape. A form of storytelling and journalism for me. I’ve been taking music seriously for 8 years now. Most people would have quit after year one but I don’t know… I feel like I have a calling to create the music I’m creating. So I believe I HAVE to see it ALL the way through.
This summer I’ll be releasing a single called “If Only”. I wrote this one in the mountains of north Georgia at a writers retreat and the words just began to flow. Before writing this song I haven’t written in a couple of months so being able to come back into it and write “If Only” so seamlessly that’s when I was like.. “Ohh yeah.. I still got it!”.
My philosophy is: Once you have it; you have it. It can’t be lost. Sometimes you just have to reach into it and sometimes it’ll find you.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Confidence, persistence and faith.
Keep going! It’s okay to take a break and reassess but keep going! DO NOT QUIT
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
As an artist it’s so easy to get overwhelmed because there is so much to do.
For example: A Video Shoot – Writing out the treatment, finding the location, getting your videographer on board, getting your photographer on board, getting the props, wardrobe, makeup, people needed to be in the video, etc..
So usually when I have a big project coming up and I start to get overwhelmed I write out everything that needs to get done that has not been done yet. From there, I write out what pieces are needed to get them completed. After I see it all out on paper I write a to-do list so that I can tackle them one at a time. And BOOM.. That’s how I get things done.
