He shares how the message behind “Work It Out for Me,” penned by Travis Malloy, resonated deeply. “It’s simple, but the message is heavy. Everybody needs God to work some stuff out,” Zacardi says, his sincerity shining through. Throughout the conversation, he credits faith for not just his artistry, but for his personal growth and resilience through challenges.

Zacardi’s creative process is rooted in being different, daring to challenge himself, and bringing fresh sounds to the genre he loves. Collaborating with icons like Erica Campbell, Jonathan and Jason Nelson, and Jekalyn Carr isn’t just about making history; it’s about building community and amplifying God’s message with others who share his passion.
