Zildjian Edwardsen, American artist, poet, and rising social media sensation is set to take the world by storm. Being featured in the Digital Journal, News Channel Nebraska, Fox40, the Buffalo News, and Benzinga, he has amassed 15.6k instagram followers (@zilbro) and is nearing the completion of his debut album. With only three songs remaining to be launched, I am excited to play a part in bringing this masterpiece to the world. Among the throngs of aspiring musicians, artists, poets, and creatives, only a handful dare to be innovative and go against the grain. Having broken the boundaries of genres and music styles, Zildjian is one of the not only most prolific but most innovative artistic minds in the contemporary music industry. His debut self-titled album is an explosion of rock that is quite unprecedented.
Here you will find the first 5 singles off of the project: https://soundcloud.com/ziliszildjian/tracks. My personal favorites so far are “High School” and “VENOM.”
Working on this album with Dan Cable and Chris Wentworth (The two best drummers in the state of Wisconsin), Zildjian has proved that he can paint his waves of life into an inescapable sonic canvas of emocean. Tracking guitar in Luma Knotty studios with Ryan Patrick [awarded the 2019 WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) Award in the World/Reggae/Ska/Latin category] for the album was an unforgettable experience Zildjian will definitely cherish forever. Other notable features on the album include Charlie Strong and Benjamin Cable.
Zildjian was born in Tomahawk, Wisconsin into a highly musical family. His father, who named him Zildjian after his favorite drum cymbal brand, is also a musician. He has supported Zildjian’s musical aspirations and affinities and ultimately inspired the young boy from Tomahawk to take the global music stage by storm.
Picking up drumsticks at the age of 8 was instrumental in helping him attain a sense of rhythm and understanding of the mathematical side of music. By 13, he was already rapping and recording.
During his teenage years, Zildjian studied old-school rhyme schemes and was primarily focused on polishing his rapping skills. He recommenced his recording sessions in 2017, by which time he discovered that his voice was as powerful and robust as his talents for rap and rhyme.
In 2019, Zildjian discovered his sensibilities for rock music but never abandoned his roots in rap, rhythm, and old-school rhyme. He unified these musical worlds and became an instant crossover sensation.
In 2020, Zildjian released the official music video for Riot, showcasing his fresh blend of rock, hip hop and electronic ideas. His work was immediately praised by numerous high-profile artists and producers, which ultimately led to his creation and collaboration with Ayth Street Records.
Throughout the year 2022, Zildjian has been releasing singles from his debut rock album, which is being launched via Ayth Street Records and scheduled to arrive on October 21st.
