ABOUT ME 

​

HI, MY NAME IS CALVIN BYNUM, ALSO KNOWN AS BAT ZOO.

​

GROWING UP, I WAS IMMERSED IN A MELTING POT OF MUSICAL INFLUENCES, SHAPED LARGELY BY MY FATHER'S RECORD COLLECTION. FROM THE SOULFUL WARMTH OF R&B TO THE RAW ENERGY OF HIP-HOP, HIS PASSION FOR MUSIC INTRODUCED ME TO A WIDE SPECTRUM OF SOUNDS AND STYLES, TEACHING ME TO MOVE EFFORTLESSLY ACROSS GENRES.

​

TODAY, I WRITE LYRICS IN BOTH ENGLISCH AND IN GERMAN, EXPLORING THEMES OF VULNERABILITY, TRANSFORMATION, AND THE COMPLEXITY OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. MY SONGWRITING BLENDS R&B, FOLK, AND EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONIC MUSIC CREATING A SOUND THAT IS  EMOTIONAL, CINEMATIC, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY HUMAN.

​

MY GOAL IS TO CONTRIBUTE SONGS TO NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RECOGNIZED ARTISTS WHILE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP AS A VERSATILE SONGWRITER. I AM LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE WITH PUBLISHERS AND ARTISTS WHO VALUE AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING AND STRONG MELODIC WRITING.
