I live in the noise — and I teach it to sing.
My name is Zajah, and the sound is unmistakably my own: neon-lit, built to be remembered, reaching a little higher with every track. Call it the 80s dreamed forward — warm analog pads, patient drum machines, and hooks that ache like a midnight drive. I write between the lines and play on the keys (a digital keyboard, if we’re being honest), and I’ve been told my voice lives somewhere between Alison Moyet, Taylor Dayne, and Mick Hucknall of Simply Red.
“You must live with ambition in order to dance with achievement — all while flirting with determination to completely and intimately surrender to success.” ▸ ZAJAH
My signal first went out in the 1990s, straight out of high school, when I founded TIAB Productions. More than ten years deep, I’ve been lucky to share the frequency with artists of every kind. The one that sent my career into orbit was boyMONROE — for a couple of years I was its producer, composer, and one of its voices. We found a home in the LGBTQ+ family of Austin, Texas, and that community became our launchpad. Forever humble, forever grateful.
I don’t broadcast the private channels of my life. I stay humble for the road it took to get here — and electric about how far there still is to go. I’d like to believe my footprints glow a little, lighting the way for whoever’s next. If I can do this, so can you.
Across the years I’ve shared the static with an incredible range of artists and producers — acoustic souls and fully electronic dreamers alike. A few of the names on the frequency:

Are you next on the frequency?
The journey has been electric, and watching it ripple out across the world never gets old. I’m a simple soul with a loud heart — so as long as you’re singing along or dancing in the static, I’ve done my job. Nothing makes me glow quite like knowing I made you move.
