Certain voices don’t just fill a room; they lift it. Onew’s voice has always done that. From the moment he stepped on stage at the Indigo at The O2 for his ONEW THE LIVE: Percent % World Tour, I knew this wouldn’t be just another typical concert. The evening was satisfyingly filled with warmth and…

2Z’s “Highness”: A New Musical Chapter – Exclusive Interview
Every great band has an origin story, and 2Z’s sounds like the kind of plot you’d pitch for a feel-good coming-of-age movie.
