With his debut single, “Test Drive” YZA combines rich R&B roots with a fresh, contemporary vibe, reminiscent of the late great Static Major mixed with Chris Brown and a touch of Drake.
The compelling track promises to be a summer anthem, produced by Hossy, a multi-platinum certified producer known for his work with top artists across R&B and rap. YZA’s choice of “Test Drive” as a debut single reflects his personal history, drawing inspiration from his childhood spent in his grandfather’s garage, surrounded by cars. This background not only influences his music but also his life outside the studio where he works at Harley-Davidson and indulges in his passion for motorcycles.
With the release scheduled to hit FM radio and digital platforms within weeks, YZA is also gearing up for the drop of his EP, “Christmas in July,” anticipated early to mid- October. The momentum will continue with his project “Sleeping Giant,” slated for release in the late fall. This series of releases highlights YZA’s readiness to transition from a background figure in music to a front-running artist in the industry.
Beyond his music, YZA is launching an innovative clothing line, G’s Only, which merges technology with apparel, tailored specifically for music lovers of various genres. This move showcases his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to creating a comprehensive brand experience for his fans.
As summer progresses, YZA is not just releasing tracks but also taking to the road with a series of concerts across the United States. Cities on the artist’s much-awaited tour include Austin, Columbus, Raleigh, Greenville, Madison, Huntsville, Charleston, Chicago, Atlanta, and St. Louis, with more to be announced.
YZA’s shift from the background to the forefront of the music scene marks a significant transformation, mirroring the very essence of his debut single. With “Test Drive,” YZA is not just taking the wheel but is also ready to drive the R&B world forward, fueled by his passion, heritage, and the vibrant spirit of Louisville’s rich musical legacy.
