If you ask his younger self why he never put himself out there, he’d say, “I play music for myself, maybe someday after I’m gone, people will discover it”. But in 2019 he began testing the waters and released a few singles which received positive reviews. While extremely grateful for the ability to provide medical care when the Covid pandemic hit in 2020, seeing so many people die before they could live out their dreams made him realize he wanted to put his music out to the world while he was still around!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn Friday June 27th Zpextre will be performing publicly for the first time.
