"I've eaten hot Cheeto puffs in the shower before. That shit was tight."

Zack Villere, a Los Angeles transplant who calls Covington, Louisiana home, is not your run of the mill 21-year-old from the state that gave us Popeyes. He is a cartoon-drawing, teddy bear-loving, music-making tour de force who is very bad at being anyone other than himself, and that is a very good thing. He eats junk food in the shower ("They got kinda wet from the steam, but it was good while it lasted") and started making pictures as a little boy, jealous of his friend's acceptance into an art class for the gifted. "I started tracing Dragon Ball Z characters on pieces of tracing papers," he tells us over text. (Yes, we conducted this interview over text, and it was a blast.)

To this day, Villere illustrates the artwork for his songs, often producing anthropomorphic caricatures that would snugly fit into a given episode of Rick and Morty. (His portraits range from robotic, rocket-powered creatures to fantastical phelgm with arms and legs.) A visual person with an ear to match, Zach later expanded his skill-set to include music.

He started producing boom bap beats with FL Studio his junior year of high school ("They were really bad") before a friend showed him the light that is otherwise known as Ableton. Something clicked after he stopped trying to create songs inspired by some of his heroes—Tyler, the Creator and Flying Lotus among them. He grew more comfortable with his new software and started exploring subtly innovative sound-scapes, build with interstellar glitches and warped horn arrangements. Froyo Ma, his psuedonym, was born, but not for long. Unsatisfied with solely existing behind his sounds, Zack started experimenting with a matter-of-fact, understated vocal delivery. Soon enough, he gradually ditched his moniker to embrace his government name.
