“The spookiest make-out record of 2023 or any other other year.” - Jedd Beaudoin, Strange Currency (KMUW/NPR)
“This isn’t the glamorized, even romanticized version of the Garden State emphasized by artists such as Bruce Springsteen. No, Hacha De Zola views his hometown quite differently, with a more perhaps localized, almost realistic view of what’s happening on the streets and in the communities.”
See the video for “A Day In Secaucus, New Jersey” at V13 or via the links above.
“If anything is gonna blow this song up, it's gonna be Travis’s sweet dance moves,” says J Hacha De Zola of the video for his “A Day In Secaucus, New Jersey” single, taken from his forthcoming album Without A Tribe (June 9, Caballo Negro). “I asked Hector (Gallardo, the clip’s director) to capture that banality of everyday life as we see Travis go about his daily routine. But then there is a moment when Travis decides to take matters into his own hands and enjoy life a little.”
“I'm from New Jersey and no one likes Jersey, particularly Secaucus where I was born,” Hacha De Zola explains about the song. “It’s a place of subtle dread, kinda like some oddball Stephen King story. A very different Jersey than Springsteen’s Jersey.”
Gallardo comments, “Travis, our actor, is pretty darned good at relaying emotions with a few looks. He can pull off that tired, fed-up look easily. It's always a good time shooting with him. He's such an upbeat, happy guy. But as soon as that camera starts rolling, he turns into such a bummed, stressed out guy.”
J Hacha De Zola is available for interviews. Please contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more info.

J Hacha De Zola | “Do You?”
[STREAM]: https://fanatic.lnk.to/JHachaDeZola-DoYou

Glide Magazine says “Do You?” by J Hacha De Zola “finds its singer leaning into a brooding, Motown-influenced sound. We get a touch of soul music, a hint of lounge singer, a dash of groove-laden funk, and a full serving of J Hacha De Zola’s smooth crooning and playfully mysterious approach to a love song (or anti-love song?)
“One can imagine the singer playing this tune in front of a swinging nightclub backed by a large band of horn players and background singers, showcasing his completely original approach to crafting American music.”
