The folk-rock album received praise and local media attention following its anticipated release. Crossfader Magazine wrote that in an era of “lo-fi bedroom projects\, it’s refreshing to hear a young creative voice this professionally produced\, fully realized\, and cohesively structured around a distinct personality and energy.” \n\n\n\nLess than a year later\, Zion released an EP titled “Did Not Wake up Today” on January 20th\, 2018. This project features heavier topics and harder rock than his debut album. Even before its release\, the title track was recognized by AFROPUNK: “Rodman turns up the volume of his melodic indie pop\, with his stunning voice just barely masking his anger beneath the hook.” \n\n\n\nHis most recent album “Whatever Happens” was recorded in Chicago and released in 2020. Zion currently lives in Boston with his fiancé and their cats.

From performing at Gov Ball 2024 alongside Kidd Revel to intimate art gallery performances in Boston\, his ethos of unwavering energy is constantly evolving as his creative approach is just as much about self-understanding as it is about the expression of the process itself. \n\n\n\n@maztypebeat everywhere\, @madebybencils everywhere URL:https://uncommoncorner.org/event/maz-bencils-3/ CATEGORIES:DJ,Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uncommoncorner.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2023/08/Untitled-design-49.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240518T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240518T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T181656 CREATED:20240508T031009Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240516T234514Z UID:10000331-1716044400-1716051600@uncommoncorner.org SUMMARY:Palo Rosa y Cuerdas ft.
