Stars All Fall Artist/Producer: Zion Birdsong Songwriter: D. Amari Jackson Zion. His destination is clear... Birdsong. The gift is inherent to his name… The setting? 21st century Audio Empire (formerly known as The ATL) The time? Now As he watches over the mind-controlled masses toiling away at their daily audio drudgery, Emperor Quo is furious. Despite efforts by his ruthless band of Normalizers to stop The One prophecy had forewarned of, a revolutionary figure now emerges from the darkness, changing the frequency and bearing The Sound. It’s the thing Quo fears most; for The Sound brings love and freedom to people’s ears, and certain death to the vast Audio Empire he’d spent so many years crafting. The Emperor is well aware of the formidable skills of the musical Jedi whose name symbolizes song in flight. Reared in the melodically-rich Buckeye region, away from the watchful eye of the prophecy-fearing emperor, Zion Birdsong cultivated his skills in writing, production, voice and instrumentation while pulling elements from sound warriors past and present―Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Jam & Lewis, Lauryn Hill, Fred Hammond, Donell Jones, Musiq, The Neptunes, Timbaland… His story has since become legend to the sound-thirsty masses anticipating the realization of the free city of New Melodia. Protected only by a prophetic belief in his mission, the young Zion ventured from his homeland on a dangerous musical quest to Audio Empire, hiding from and battling Quo’s dark minions every step of the way. Once there, he found refuge and groomed his skills working alongside such allies as DJ Nabs (In The Labs Productions) and Michael Maudin (Mauldin Brand Agency) as a writer and producer. He grew stronger, preparing himself for the day he’d lead the New Melodians into battle with the unrelenting forces of the dark empire… That day has finally come. The battle lines are drawn as our hero will brave the mighty wrath of Emperor Quo and his evil band of Normalizers to give The Sound―the one thing that reminds us who we really are―back to humanity. The Revolution is now. Welcome to Zion.
