In his early 20’s, Zagga released his first mixtape “The Remix God”, which is a compilation of popular songs remixed with his own flavor. The mixtape was a success and was requested repetitively on popular radio stations such as ZIP 103 FM, HITS 92 FM and IRIE FM. “The Remix God” got over 2,000 downloads in its first week and received great reviews by disc jockeys, artists and fans. Ruption of RD studios who is a good friend of Zagga and fan of his music, heard “Island Breeze” on the “Island Vibes Riddim” via Facebook, and that triggered him to take the song to producer Jordan McClure of “Chimney Records”. Jordan was impressed and before long Zagga was discussing a management deal with “Chimney Records” which would push him to make his move to Kingston Jamaica to further his career. “It was a good feeling to get signed, and it feels even better when I see the kind of people I’m around; they are good people.” Zagga stated when asked about his first management deal.
Since being signed, he has had quite an eventful time with releases such as “Versatile in love” on the “Steel Strings Riddim”, “Remember The Days” on the “Chill Spot Riddim” and “Never Give Up” on the “Tropical Escape Riddim” which have been getting rave reviews and heavy rotation on the airwaves. One of his singles enytitled “Change” (November 2011), was number 1 on a few charts in Europe. He has also been in the media with a range of radio interviews as well as appearing in a variety of newspapers.
2012 into 2013 has met Zagga with a considerable amount of growth; the artiste has gained more popularity and recognition for his lyrical prowess and versatility. In recent times he has become one of the anticipated freestyle artistes on Zip 103’s ‘Urban Mondays’ hosted by ZJ Chrome. This year he also started his “Change Mixtape” series with releases in Africa (hosted by ZJ Heno), the United States of America (hosted by Waggy Tee Movements) and Japan (hosted by Unity Sound. This series will continue with releases from Jamaica (Jazzy T) and Portugal (Spit Fire Sound).
Zagga continues to focus his energies into creating new music and developing his craft. He now has his very own band that will be appearing in his “Never Give Up” music video to be released in September 2013. He is also working on a single with Alaine to be released before the end of the year. “Never give up. Work hard and be patient, because what you put in is what you will get out” is Zagga’s philosophy and his music continues to be a testimony of that.

The chorus emphasizes this sense of closeness despite the distance, calling on the listener not to lose their way and reminding them that Jah loves them. The verse encourages the listener to keep going on their journey, even when faced with obstacles that are designed to make them lose their way. The artist acknowledges that the journey may be long and difficult, but taking one step at a time and with faith in Jah, progress can be made towards achieving the goal.
The second verse emphasizes the idea that despite feeling far away from home or from what one desires, it is possible to experience joy and blessings along the way. The artist acknowledges that walking in the right path is seen by Jah and that there will be brighter days ahead. The song's message is one of hope, faith, and perseverance in the face of struggle.
