Chicago’s zojaszn Is Entering His Best Era With TELEPATH

At just 19 years old, Chicago artist zojaszn is building momentum on his own terms. The rising artist recently celebrated the release of his new album, TELEPATH, which dropped on June 26—his birthday—marking a major milestone in his career.

Music has always been part of zojaszn’s life. He says he was “born into it,” and that lifelong connection continues to shape his sound and artistic vision. Inspired by Michael Jackson, Playboi Carti, and his family, he’s creating music that reflects both ambition and authenticity. The journey hasn’t been easy. One of the biggest challenges came while independently funding TELEPATH while commuting to school every day. Despite the financial hurdles, he stayed committed to bringing the project to life.

His message to anyone chasing their dreams is simple: “Stay focused. Don’t let anybody try to tell you who you can and can not be.” With TELEPATH now available, zojaszn is proving that hard work, resilience, and self-belief can take an independent artist a long way.
