Zhu
San Francisco
Back in 2014, "Faded" became a club hit the world over, but the man behind it decided to keep his identity a secret, going only by Zhu. The veil is now lifted, and that musician is known to be Steven Zhu, a Chinese-American artist whose debut album, Generationwhy, released this July. Zhu currently lives in L.A., but grew up in San Francisco. Now that his debut dropped, Zhu is ready for more. "I'm always exploring the future," he says. "With the album, a weight got lifted, and now I am more free in terms of stuff I can try."
