🎙️ Welcome to ZeloCast : Glow with the Flow — where music, meaning, and a whole lot of good vibes come together! 🎶✨
Hosted by The Zelotones, Singapore’s very own passionate, independent band, we’re all about sharing real-life stories, spreading positivity, and championing inclusion for persons with disabilities (PWD).
Meet the crew:
🎸 Zach (bass) – Founder, groove master, and proof that losing sight doesn’t mean losing vision. From navigating blindness in young adulthood to rocking the bass like nobody’s business, Zach’s got wisdom and wicked riffs.
🥁 Alex (drums) – Started on bass, leveled up to drums, now smashing Grade 5 exams like it’s no big deal. Visually impaired since young, Alex’s independence and “why not?” attitude make him a powerhouse on and off stage.
🎤 Zyana (vocals & rhythm guitar) – Our powerhouse vocalist with a heart full of stories and a guitar that never lies. Living with tunnel vision hasn’t stopped her from crafting beautiful arrangements and lighting up any stage.
🎹 Ben (keys) – The “jukebox” pianist with Grade 8 chops, a killer smile, and a life story that redefines resilience. After two serious accidents, Ben’s motto is simple: keep playing, keep glowing.
💪 The Zelotones do it all – music, admin, PR, finances – proving that disability doesn’t define limits. We use our voices (and instruments!) to amplify PWD perspectives, spark conversations, and build a more inclusive Singapore.
Every episode, expect a mix of:
💬 Honest chats about life’s ups and downs
😂 Hilarious band banter
🎶 Behind-the-scenes of our music
💡 Inspiring stories of self-acceptance, family love & community power
Plus, you’ll get to hear how we created our unique sound, including our debut single “Merajuk” (find it on Spotify, YouTube, & Apple Music).
So plug in, press play, and let’s Glow with the Flow together. 🚀 Because in our world, everyone’s got a light worth shining.
Get ready, ZeloFam — it’s finally time to meet the man behind the knobs, buttons, and mysterious audio magic. 🎚️✨
In Episode 37 of Zelocast: Glow with the Flow, we shine the spotlight on the newest member of the crew: Mr. Engineer, also known as A.G.
But here’s the twist — he’s not just the sound wizard behind the scenes… he’s family.
A.G. is Zyana’s younger brother and Alex’s brother-in-law, which officially makes Zelotones a family operation (sorry Ben, you’re still our honorary adopted member 😆).
In this episode, A.G. shares his journey into music — starting at just 15 years old as a drummer in a military band before deciding the bassist looked cooler… so he switched instruments.
From rocking out to legends like Metallica and Nirvana to performing with the more soulful, acoustic, sometimes very jiwang vibes of Zelotones — his musical path has been anything but boring.
We also dive into:
🎙️ The Birth of Zelocast
How A.G.’s diploma in music and sound production helped spark the idea for this podcast.
🎸 Musical Inspirations
Including a shoutout to bass legend Jason Newsted.
⚽ The Arsenal Virus
How Alex managed to recruit both A.G. and Ben into Arsenal fandom.
🎧 Ear Contact Over Eye Contact
How musicians perform together when visual cues aren’t possible.
It’s funny, heartfelt, and a little chaotic — the perfect introduction to the guy who makes sure we actually sound good every episode.
Because behind every podcast… there’s always someone quietly fixing everyone else’s mistakes. 😄
Together we make a difference.Win or lose, we are still champions. 🏆✨
