![Zedd interview ahead of Telos Tour in India: 'My music is deeply inspired by dragon ball'](https://www.moviesinterestingfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Zedd-interview-ahead-of-Telos-Tour-in-India-My-music.jpg)
Since almost a decade after Anton Jaslavsky, the world is known as Z, the last set leg in India, and a lot has changed since then. The German-Russian manufacturer’s fingers are everywhere-“clarity”, “stay”, and “the middle” chart-topping hits have not only recorded themselves in cultural bloodstream, but in many ways, their rhythm, in many ways have set. If there is an indication of the top 40 of the billboard for the last ten years, then the Grammy-enthusiast composer has gone to the eccentric Wondkind of EDM to a full pop Sawant, which is bridging the world between electronic and mainstream pop.
Telos Perhaps his most complete vision is still. The new album is the culmination of their classical training, the trend of danceflor and personal development. Real drum crashes with spectral sinks and their colleagues range from the pop powerhouse to underground voices which can only be present in post-streaming, style-unknownist landscape. This is a distillation of constant stress in their music in many ways: structure vs. spontaneity, human vs. machine, past versus future.
Now, on the eve of India’s foot Telos Tour, Zedd seems to be reflective. There is something about this album that feels different, not only his audience, but for him. “I think Telos My grand job is, ”he says. “This is the album that connects my whole life to one.”
At the age of 34, ZedD has lived many music lives. He was a classical trained pianist before he touched a synthesizer. He played drums in a metal band, before he would consider creating electronic music. And, as it is revealed, he is following a particular sound – a different emotional resonance – from childhood.
“My music is actually deeply inspired by the Dragon Ball,” he almost says to the wolf, admitting the hold of a lifetime, that Akira Toriyama’s prestigious anime franchise has done them on them. “Theme song,” Cha-La Head-Cha-La “, is so deeply connected in me that, honestly, whatever I write is subconsciously affected by it.”

And now, in a serious turn of events, initial subjects for Dragon Ball Dema– Taking “Jaka Jaan”– comes from courtesy of someone other than life Dragon Ball The disciple joined the Japanese Vocal Duo C&K. He also gives his touch to the theme, the closing theme with the Japanese-American singer AI, “Failed”. The possibility of a gig did not find him that considering his fandum has never been a well -secret.
“Anytime I talk to my friends, and I tell them about any quiet things happening in my life, they always like,” Yes, amazing. ” But when I said I was working Dragon BallHe lost his mind. ,
He laughs, but his excitement is clear. “It’s crazy because I love this music, and now I have composed a song that may be” Cha-La Head-C-La “. Perhaps someday, someone will listen to my song and because of this Would like to make music.
For an artist whose career is made on ancient, surgery accurate sound design, there is some striking human about Z’s new album. “with ClarityI was just detecting things. I did not know how to create an album as an electronic musician, so I was using, starting with instruments and then finding out how to get the singer, ”he explained. “with True colorI wanted to prove that I was not just one thing – that I was not in boxing Clarity sound. Each song of that album was a different subgen. ,

Telos There is a bridge between those two worlds. “Many of these songs started from the ground, like I did ClarityBut I also brought influence from the days of my band. There are real drums on this album. Are classical elements. I also worked with musicians, I grew up listening. This is everything that has ever inspired me, all in one place. ,
He stops for a beat, then says, “I think this is why this tour has felt different. Visual identity is very close to music. This is the first time we developed the show with the album. Is so it all seems to be very connected.
As he is ready for his first India show in almost a decade, Zed is eager to see a country again who left him once and left both.
Zed has been almost a decade after Zed has last played in India, a fact that surprises him. “Last time I was here, I really didn’t know what I was doing in terms of production. I knew how DJ is, but I could not fully understand what show Was.”
This time, it is different. Telos The tour is a spectacle – whatever he has learned, a result of everything he has felt, everything he has made. “I think fans can really expect an emotional show. And, for someone who has heard TelosAn entire song is essentially dedicated to India called ‘Shanti’. ,
His voice changes, just a little bit. “In my head, I was waiting to play that song in India, while I was making it. This is clearly more special than elsewhere. I think when I play it, there are tears in my eyes. ,
However, he is eager to return for more than just the tour. “I don’t think I realized how incredible India was until he first came,” he says. “And I have tasted all these things that I have never tasted before.”
He does grins. “I am not great with spices, but I am ready to grow on it. I am probably going to spend a good week in eating spicy foods before, so I am ready to take it. ,
Electronic music, such as fashion, cycle through steps at an incomplete speed – what is hot today, and what is near today, may have been cooked for an indifferent revival in three years. After spending his career in shaping music trends, Zad is surprisingly indifferent to him. “I honestly don’t even know what is popular now,” he believes. “I stop all external effects while making TelosBut I have seen that the lifetime of trends keeps on decreasing. Years ago, some such as traps (a sub -sector of electronic music) will dominate for more than a year. Now, a new trend remains the next three months in advance. ,
So does it stimulate her? “I would like to see people taking more risk – just stop the noise of people who are really saying online and what to focus They want to make. I think when you spend years on a piece of music, you probably thought about it is slightly greater than listening to someone’s half ear. ,
ZedD has done everything – sold places in five continents, won a Grammy, collaborated with some of the world’s largest artists. But there is a limit he has to win so far.
“I have always dreamed of scoring an entire film or TV show,” he says. “I have done bits and pieces here and there, but never a whole project.” Her dreams aide? “I have always said that my two favorite directors are Christopher Nolan and Darren Aaronophski. I like all his films very much, so she will be my first choice. ,

and if Telos It acts as its audition reel, it is quite compelling. It is in a sense, a score zedd filled with motifs for life remains till now. But before making Hollywood calls, to take a platform. Bangalore and Delhi are waiting, and somewhere in the crowd, someone must be listening Calmness For the first time, everything is feeling, at once. Zedd will not have any other way.
