This episode with ZANA really hit me in the heart. You might know her from her hit banger “Dance For Me (1,2,3)” and I discovered there’s so much depth behind her beautiful melodies. Her openness about what she’s been through — from losing her grandfather to feeling completely burned out by the industry — was incredibly moving. I could feel the weight of her story, but also the strength and clarity she’s gained by finding her way back to joy. ZANA reminded me that music isn’t just about hits — it’s about healing, connection, and being true to yourself. I’m grateful she shared so much of her soul with me, and I hope you guys can feel it too!
