Hi, It’s great to have you with us today! Please share about yourself with our readers.
Hi, my name is The Kid Zetsu, a.k.a. Tequan Moore. I was born and raised in a small town called Emporia, Virginia. I grew up to all kinds of cultures and music due to my traveling. What inspired me to do music was hustle n flow Juice WRLD, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Tupac, Biggie, and many others. I thrive off of others who build my ideas when it comes to music. I have big artists I worked with in the past, Sean Kingston, Juicy J, Jadakiss, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, T.I., Dave East, and more.
My latest single, ‘Wait (feat. The Game & B.O.B.B.Y)‘, has reached closer to the numbers of my most famous tracks, Pull Up (feat. Bryson Tiller) [The Kid Zetsu Remix] and Johnny Walker (feat. Lil Wayne) [The Kid Zetsu Remix] breaking me over a million.
I always express how I feel through my music, and I hope to touch others as much as music touches me, to captivate others and inspire them as well.
