Exploring Authenticity: Zenon’s Journey from Choir to Berklee and Beyond - The Calgary Sessions Ep98

In episode 98 of The Calgary Sessions podcast, I had the opportunity to chat with Zenon, a talented local artist who’s making waves in the alternative R&B scene.

Zenon shared with us their journey in music, beginning from the early days in a childhood choir and evolving into a distinctive style that’s all their own. A significant part of our conversation focused on the influences that have shaped their music, particularly the impact of their parents. From their father’s harmonica skills to their mother's Caribbean roots, it’s clear that family has played a vital role in their artistic development.

We also delved into Zenon's love for performing. Zenon talked about the exhilaration and sense of belonging they feel when on stage – a sentiment that echoes with many in the artistic community. It’s in these moments, under the spotlight, that an artist truly comes into their own.

A key highlight of our chat was Zenon's experience at the Berklee College of Music. Their story is a genuine account of embracing challenges and persistently pursuing their dreams, showcasing a journey marked by both hardship and triumph.

Lastly, we touched upon Zenon's path back to music after facing personal obstacles. Their story is a compelling narrative about finding one's way back to a passion, demonstrating a remarkable strength in overcoming life’s unexpected turns.
