From Tolosa to the World: Dren Zabala’s Rise Through Resilience and Sound
It’s rare to meet an artist whose journey feels like a handwritten letter to everyone who ever dared to dream in silence.
The Power of Consistency and Dream Collaborations
1law's grandmother provided a pivotal piece of advice that he carries with him to this day: perform for 10 people the same way you would for 10,000. This principle of consistency not only applies to his music career but also to life in general. In terms of collaborations, his dream partner is J. Cole, an artist whose
Future Aspirations and Most Meaningful Work
Over the next five years, 1law has set ambitious goals for his music career. He plans to release approximately four new projects, collaborate with big names, especially in the CHH world, book at least 20 shows annually, and possibly be involved with a record label. However, his most meaningful song to date is "Fade," a track dedicated to a close friend who passed away at the age of 21.
Balancing Commercial Aspects with Authenticity and Pre-Performance Rituals
To balance the commercial side of the music industry while staying authentic, 1law consciously takes time away from his phone and technology. He actively seeks to experience life outside of the screen, involving himself in outdoor activities, exercise, and travel. His pre-performance ritual involves an immersion into his set songs, a thorough soundcheck, prayer, and the whisper of "Showtime" right before hitting the stage.
Music as a Source of Motivation
For motivation, 1law turns to artists like NF, Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle, Kendrick Lamar, Lecrae, Eminem, Lil Baby, Andy Mineo, nobigdyl., Baby Keem, and Joyner Lucas. These artists are an integral part of his motivational rotation, inspiring him to keep pushing boundaries and evolve further in his music journey.
