Potter's Hand (By Wakai & Zahir)

In June of 2022, Zahir began to bridge his directing craft and musical upbringing by executively curating and releasing ‘From a Potter’s Hands’, a musical compilation with artists such as Wakai, Nelovesbias, Ezy and others. Since this release, he has met and studied under major influences such as Saba, Halsey, and Pharrell among others. Taking these lessons along with him, he crafted his debut musical single ‘Unusual’ bringing in burgeoning artists, Phoenix James and Wiseboy Jeremy, to craft the perfect R&B/Alt Hip Hop vocal introduction labeled by many as a “stunning depiction”. Unusual is the first single off of his widely anticipated project debut releasing later this year.

Zahir released his debut single and accompanying music film “Unusual” to artistic acclaim, garnering co-signs from EARTHGANG, Monte Booker, Mavi, Anthony Fantano, and others. He follows this stunning entrance with a bouncy, Pharrell-inspired hip-hop record entitled “Big Drop.” Channeling Neptunes-style melodies, as well as artists like Smino and Tyler, The Creator for his vocal flow, Zahir merges these influences to create something wholly innovative yet grounded in hip-hop conventions, topped off with an exuberant trumpet kick, cementing “Big Drop” as a truly remarkable release from this inventive new artist.
