ARTIST BIO
Zairis’s photographic and musical expertise enables people to see from a perspective that transcends the ability of the natural eyes. His musical mastery is timeless and matchless! The work he creates explores musical expression, film and photography. Zairis’s musical exploration is a combination of Neo Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, and LoFi among many other genres. Composing all of his music himself, he always finds a way to give all his listeners his best work while creating timeless music. Creating his photography and film is a more complex process. He often explores capturing city life and cityscapes. He is very fascinated with interior design and architecture. Through his camera lens you will see many things he often wants to shed light on. Music has always been his first love and way to express himself. Today Zairis is a practicing music producer working with other artists and his personal projects.
Zairis’ journey with film began when he got his first camera as a Christmas gift from his parents. Zairis has always been infatuated with film and different styles of film since he was 14. In middle school and throughout high school he always took pictures and wrote short films and he always had the drive to be a filmmaker. One of his two favorite filmmakers he is most inspired by is Spike Lee and Jordan Peele for their style of cinematography and eye catching techniques and storytelling that has meaning behind each film. In 2016 as a soldier in the US Army, Zairis came back from his tour in Afghanistan and rekindled his passion for filmmaking while living in Richmond, VA. Later relocating back to his hometown Fayetteville, NC in 2020 after honorably discharged from the Army.
Living and creating in Richmond, VA was an eye opener for Zairis and showed him that he too could make a difference with a camera in addition to his music through sharing his music in his films. Zairis plans to combine both his talents to create even more powerful work. He believes musicianship is the key essential to great music and great music enhances any film. "I wanted to bring back to my city of Fayetteville great ideas and art expression that I learned and witnessed while travling the world.
