HTR Episode 16: Zauntee

In this episode of Hitting the Road, we sit down with Nashville-based artist Zauntee, whose journey from teenage dreamer to nationally recognized voice in Christian hip-hop and pop is a story of perseverance and purpose.

Born in Tampa, Florida, Zauntee started writing songs and making beats in his bedroom at an early age. By the time he was in his teens, he had already begun building a grassroots following with a message of hope and authenticity that set him apart in the genre. His breakout single “God Taught Me” racked up millions of streams, catapulting him onto national stages and earning him a reputation as one of the bold new voices in faith-driven music.

Now based in Nashville, Zauntee has gone on to release projects like 3:34 and The Stonebrook Project, blending trap beats, pop hooks, and raw honesty into a sound that connects with both mainstream and faith audiences. With streams in the tens of millions, he’s proving that his mission-driven music has wide resonance.

We talk about his early hustle, what it means to stay true to your calling in the music industry, and how he’s carving out a unique lane at the intersection of hip-hop, pop, and worship.
