Zayko grew up in Innsbruck as the child of Turkish-Kurdish immigrants, navigating life between two cultures. Coming from a working-class family, he was raised with traditional values while trying to find his place in Austrian society. His parents worked hard to provide for the family, but the cultural and social gap often made him feel like an outsider.
He attended a Gymnasium, but school was never easy for him. Zayko struggled with feeling misunderstood by teachers and classmates, often facing prejudice and low expectations because of his background. His creative side didn’t fit into the strict school system, leading to constant conflicts and a sense of being overlooked.
Despite these challenges, music became his escape and form of expression. Influenced by his cultural heritage and the realities of growing up in a working-class immigrant household, Zayko poured his experiences of identity struggles, social pressure, and inner conflict into his music. This blend of raw emotion and cultural depth now defines his sound and artistic vision.
