Z-FLO is a rap artist with over 300 Million Plays across the web.
Born in Greenville, MS, he started writing poetry at age 7, then learned how to play the keyboard by ear at age 10 prior to merging the two talents to create rap music. At age 19, he created a music video ad and entered it into the 2010 GoDaddy Summer Edition Commercial Contest, which won him a total of $75,000. He split the prize three ways with his two closest friends then invested his portion in film/video equipment.
In 2011, he started working on feature films and Reality TV shows as a Production Assistant, then eventually as an Assistant Camera and Cameraman. He’s worked for over 40 TV shows including NatGeo’s “Brain Games”, LifeTime’s “Bring It”, CBS’s “Undercover Boss”, “Parts Unknown”, and more. His personally most-prized TV accomplishment was a Netflix film titled “1 Mile To You”, for which he worked on as the Underwater Camera Operator.
In 2014, Z-FLO opened up his own label, and created a controversial project called the “No Offense” EP, where he satirically challenged perspectives on race stereotypes with humorous songs. His first video from the project, “The Black People Song”, has over 53 Million views to date. Possibly due to new attention from a viral Worldstar and Facebook live post revealing that Alexa, Google Home, and Siri played the song when requesting "black people music", Youtube blocked the original video in October 2019.
