Faris Zahid’s ascent into the spotlight reads like a compelling narrative of personal discovery and cultural immersion. Splitting his formative years between the serene beauty of Geneva and the sun-drenched coastlines of Cannes, Zahid’s musical journey blossomed organically. Starting with self-taught piano lessons, Faris took cues from YouTube tutorials before pursuing formal instruction, allowing his early curiosity to mature into a profound passion for music. The turning point came when his mother opened a recording studio in Cannes, a move that brought Faris closer to the very essence of sound creation.

It was here, in the heart of the studio, that Faris began collaborating with an engineer, developing a relationship that transcended mere mentorship. What started as casual sessions two years ago laid the foundation for a deeper creative bond. This artistic synergy would eventually carry Faris into the broader music industry, positioning him as a force to watch.

In September 2024, Zahid’s talent caught the attention of industry veterans when he debuted on GXTP’s single, "Couldn't Keep The Faith," alongside legendary producers Poo Bear and Sasha Sirota. The collaboration was more than a stepping stone—it was a launchpad, pushing Faris to explore the creative limits of his artistry. This moment of recognition soon evolved into a full-fledged partnership, with GXTP co-writing Faris' debut solo track, "Outdated Love."

"Outdated Love" is more than just a song—it’s an introspective ode to the intricacies of relationships, love, and heartbreak, themes that Zahid expresses with authenticity and ease. His genuine approach to these universal experiences allows him to resonate with listeners, bridging the gap between personal reflection and shared emotional experiences. As he prepares to unveil this debut, it’s clear that Faris is more than an emerging artist; he’s a storyteller at heart, offering a candid window into his world.

Zahid’s creative process is equally captivating. Inspiration often strikes in the quieter moments of his day, whether during a meditative morning drive or while immersed in his favorite artists. In the studio, Zahid prioritizes melody and rhythm, letting the music guide the narrative of each song before words even take shape. This intuitive approach is what makes his work so captivating—his melodies lead, his lyrics follow.

Blending heartfelt storytelling with contemporary sonic textures, Faris Zahid is poised for a luminous future, offering a fresh voice in today’s musical landscape. With his debut on the horizon, the world waits to see what the young artist will reveal next.
