Episode 4 : Independent But Not Alone Artwork

Zelocast : Glow with the Flow

🎙️ 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.

🎧 Zelocast Ep. 4: "Independent But Not Alone"
Ready to challenge what independence really means? In this feel-good and eye-opening episode, Zyana, Alex, and Ben (with Zach resting up from a bout of dengue—feel better, bro!) get real about navigating life with disabilities—on their own terms.

💪 From running the band without a manager (yes, they do it all—music, PR, networking, studio setups, admin—you name it!) to handling daily life with grace, humor, and hustle, the Zelotones prove you can be independent and uplifted by a strong support crew.

🎹 Ben shares how he powers through life post-accident (yep, he's jogging now!). 🚌 Alex schools us on Singapore's bus routes like a transit boss. 🧼 Zyana spills the tea on blind-cooking adventures, exploding glass mugs, and her husband’s detergent disasters. Who knew independence could be this entertaining?

💡 They remind us that true independence isn’t doing everything solo—it’s knowing when to own it and when to tag in some help (especially when crossing roads without traffic lights!).

This episode is packed with laughter, love, life lessons, and a whole lot of heart. So if you’ve ever wondered how people with disabilities crush stereotypes and daily chores, this one’s for you.
