Nigerian-born, US-based artist ZeXzy’s Every Sound is a 28-track project that transports you through every corner of his imagination.
ZeXzy is not here to play it safe. The Nigerian-born, US-based artist makes his arrival on the global stage with Every Sound, a debut album that sprawls across 28 tracks and countless influences. Afrobeats meets Latin heat, jazz blends into soft rock, classical touches collide with Caribbean rhythms, and US hip-hop moves effortlessly through it all. It is an album that invites the listener to travel without leaving their seat, guided by an artist who has built a world with no borders.
The album is a concept project and a personal journey. For ZeXzy, Every Sound is more than experimentation; it is an odyssey of self-expression rooted in the idea that music should have no boundaries. From the sun-soaked sensuality of ‘Auria’ to the percussive call of ‘Oh Afrika’, every track feels like a new destination. Collaborations with voices from across the globe, including South African vocalist Natasha Gartner and Italian-Canadian rapper Versvs, add texture and dimension to an already rich palette.
Every Sound thrives on surprise. One moment you are dancing barefoot on warm sand to ‘Beach Waves’, the next you are pulled into the quiet introspection of ‘Live’, a track that confronts mental health with unflinching honesty. ‘Tranquility’ reimagines the grace of the Beethoven era while ‘Sucker’ and ‘So Much’ lean into indie pop with emotional weight. Across it all, ZeXzy moves with ease, becoming the romantic, the rebel, the healer and the dreamer, often within the space of a single track.
Born Uwaifo Williams Aituae in Benin City, ZeXzy’s path has been anything but conventional. After losing his voice and overcoming personal struggles, music became both his refuge and his liberation. Now splitting his time between Nigeria and New York, he channels a truly global perspective into his art. With Every Sound, ZeXzy is not simply showing his range; he is inviting the world into a space where creativity has no walls and identity has no single sound.
