Zaya Reum (Born January 13, 2007) is an American is an American singer, songwriter, and content creator. He is notable for his distinctive voice, his style of music ranges from his own experiences and inspiration from film. His personal life and music have been the subject of small media attention. Reum is still garnering attention and rising as an artist, therefore; at the moment has a very small but growing fanbase.

Reum had his first appearance on YouTube in 2018 posting original music under a blank YouTube channel which Reum soon took down. Then, Reum started a new channel in early 2019 under another alias where he posted original music, content, and short series where he released his first project titled "My Heart." These videos were posted continuously alongside his other channel where he posted stop-motion animated videos and unreleased vlogs he edited. Reum again took these channels down and left YouTube where he appeared in his cousin, Huxley Rey's videos for a few months. Finally, Reum started his current channel in March of 2020 which was first named "Bliss." Reum uploaded his first video in July of 2020, which was a simple sit-down video. The early stage of the channel consisted of a night sky/ cinderella aesthetic with thumbnails, an intro, and an end screen of Cinderella with text over an pleasing edit. This lasted about 4 months before transforming the channel with the new name "Blissmusix" and a cottage-core esc aesthetic with a new video every week, occasionally twice a week. The videos were often a vlog, seasonal update, or a holiday haul.

Reum also posted music on this channel with the debut double-feature singles "Love" and "Nothing," which received little attention and a month later got music videos. Despite low engagement, Reum continued to post more music with his first EP "Unethical" released on his birthday. His schedule continued and he worked on two more albums titled as "Bliss" and "Once Upon A Time" which were also poorly received. After Reum returned to school, his freshman year in high school began in 2021 where his weekly uploads stopped and he vanished for a few months. Despite the hiatus, behind the scenes he was working on his biggest project yet, titled "Love Letters" Reum sang about a teenage heartbreak like many before, but this one was not just any album. It was 20 tracks split into three halves. Before, during, and after the heartbreak. It was again poorly received on YouTube but this didn't stop Reum. He appeared in two features of his cousins song after the album's release and jumped into his next projects. Later he released two more albums. After Heart to Heart alongside, How To Feel Vulnerable. Reum continued posting more YouTube videos, typically promo for a project such as behind the scenes of a music video and insight on a new album.

Suddenly, Reum announces he's joining a duo-group titled The Emotica's, during this time he was working on his debut EP finally on streaming services. The group go on to release 3 singles and their debut album Nightshame which were received positively garnering hundreds of views and streams on each individual platform. The Emotica's were active on YouTube with fun content of the two and active posts on all social media, where they gained an dedicated fan base. After the group's album in January, Zaya Reum released his highly anticipated debut EP Week of Wonders inspired by the story of Valerie and her Week of Wonders. The EP goes through each day of the week with 7 tracks, Monday-Sunday, the week of wonders in August. Received positively, the music videos were his highest-viewed and the Bodefection debut single reached 3.4k views on YouTube, his most viewed song thus far. During this era, Reum began actively posting on YouTube with videos every few days reacting to a song which gained him a much larger fan base of new supporters.

As of recent, Reum has been promoting his new single and actively posting on all social media with new YouTube videos every week. Despite the rough beginning's the future is looking bright for Reum as he's rising and gaining his own recognition thanks to his small but dedicated supporters.

Early Life
As a young child, Reum wrote songs inspired by his inspirations such as [|Melanie Martinez] and his own personal experiences. Reum would also sing in his bedroom and was also in his school's band in elementary school where he played percussion. For Christmas of 2016, he was gifted a piano and guitars to play at home alongside his drum and mallet percussion kit.

Reum and his cousin would make music together and upload unofficial songs to YouTube under their own alias' which gained little to no attention online. Despite low attention, they hardly cared and continued posting sporadically among many channels they created and later took down.

Growing up Reum had little to no friends and separated his passion from school which oftentimes leading him to neglect his passion for good grades in school. This would often change and become a cycle of choosing between school or his passion. Despite this ongoing sequence Reum would always go back to music. In high school, he tried his best to hide the channel and music from his peers. Which wouldn't last long when kids would tease him and watch his videos in class. This later led Reum to switching to online school where he thrust himself towards pursuing his channel and music without fear of what his classmates would do.

Artistry
