ZHU Revealed: 10 things he finally wants you to know

In his third-ever interview since his rise to fame, the first of which to occur on American soil, Zhu exchanged (few) words with LA Times just days ahead of his possible appearance at this year’s Grammy Awards. Though his most recent talks revealed only small bits and pieces regarding his identity and music, he has re-affirmed that his name is Steven Zhu, he is 25, grew up in San Francisco but currently lives in LA, and that he produces and provides the vocals on his tracks. His native attire includes a pair of black sunglasses, black leather jacket, and a white T-shirt — a rather clean-cut look for the man in question.

A few weeks ago, I got the chance to sit down with the sensational Michael Woods, making his second appearance at Pacha New York City.

Celebrating his residency at the SLS Hotel is Las Vegas, he recently dropped a new song called Tequila Nights.

Round 2 of this summer’s poolside soiree is coming up quick (August 8th-10th), so we wanted to check in with our pal Viceroy in a little different way — with the Hawaiian shirt honcho responding to our inquiries only in the form of GIFs.
