Arizona S. Zervas is an American rapper and singer who has made significant strides in the music industry, particularly with his breakout single “Roxanne” in 2019. This track not only reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 but also topped charts in New Zealand and made it into the top ten in several other countries, including the UK and Australia. The song’s viral success was fueled by its prominent placement in Spotify playlists, leading to a nationwide tour and a record deal with Columbia Records, marking a pivotal moment in his career.

Zervas began his musical journey in high school, releasing his first song during the eleventh grade. His debut single, “Don’t Hit My Line,” came out in 2016, setting the stage for a prolific output of over 30 songs, each garnering significant streaming numbers on platforms like Spotify. In 2018, he released a three-song EP titled “Living Facts,” which showcased his evolving artistry and laid the groundwork for his future successes.

The release of “Roxanne” on October 10, 2019, was a turning point for Zervas, as it became the first track by an unsigned artist to reach number one on Spotify’s United States Top 50 chart. This achievement not only highlighted his talent but also sparked a bidding war among record labels, ultimately leading to his signing with Columbia Records.

Following the success of “Roxanne,” Zervas continued to build on his momentum with the release of singles like “24” and “RIP” in 2020. With over 50 live performances across the United States, including a notable show at New York’s Webster Hall, Zervas has established himself as a dynamic performer and a rising star in the music scene, with his debut studio album “Wild West” released independently in 2023.
