Tell us about your track

Zachary Ray effortlessly touches on the topics of trauma and mental illness in his new release, Vicious Cycle. Reminiscent of a high school friend who lost her battle to a cycle of addiction despite being full of life and having great musical talent, Ray wanted to shine a light on how trauma can put one in a negative and “vicious cycle” that people cannot get out of alone and encourage those that may refrain from seeking help to do so for the better. Zachary was eager to have his friend and one of his favorite singers Shreya Bhattacharya on the track and had it mixed at Island City Studios by Hersh Desai
