Aspect Zavi

Born Za’Vier Mykel James on March 25, 1998, in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Dallas, Texas, Aspect Zavi is a Nigerian-American artist from the “Ka Oh Da” tribe. He began his entertainment career by extensively using social media platforms such as Vine, TikTok, and Instagram in their beta phases, establishing himself as an early adopter and pioneer. His dance content quickly gained traction, with his highest-viewed video reaching 11 million views and consistently generating 15-30 million impressions weekly. This early success as a dancer provided a foundation for his transition into music.

Zavi developed his music career after moving to Los Angeles, where he diversified his artistic output to include singing, rapping, and writing without adhering to a specific genre. He released an original single titled “Zwinkle.” His work in music has led to collaborations with various significant artists and endorsements from celebrities such as Mary J. Blige, Paris Hilton, and Lil’ Uzi Vert. In 2018, Kingsmen Media highlighted his status as a new artist, noting his vibrant lifestyle vlogs and his over 400,000 YouTube subscribers. He broadened his creative endeavors by co-writing and serving as an executive producer for the video “Don’t Lose Your Focus” in 2021.

Throughout his career, Zavi has maintained a direct connection with his audience, engaging with fans in comment sections and focusing on positive energy. His unique fashion sense has also been acknowledged, leading to endorsements from various clothing companies. He views himself not only as an artist but also as a business owner and a role model, particularly after welcoming his daughter, Winter, in March 2019, with his former girlfriend Vanessa Lynn, with whom he also shared a YouTube channel, Team VZ. His single “Focus,” released through BMB Records in 2018, explores balancing personal life and career ambitions, reinforcing his commitment to his family and artistic purpose.
