Meet Jonas Everett, the man behind the soulful rap sound that is taking the music scene by storm under his stage name, ZYERDAGREAT. Hailing from Redlands, California, Jonas has been honing his craft for over a decade, creating music that blends soulful rap with his own unique twist. His journey started with a project called Perfect Timing, and since then, he’s been relentlessly working to carve out a space for himself in the industry.
ZYERDAGREAT’s music is deeply influenced by a mix of artists, reflecting his diverse tastes. When asked about his biggest inspiration, Jonas pointed to icons like Nipsey Hussle, 2Pac, and Michael Jackson—legends whose artistry and impact continue to shape his own sound. He describes his genre as “soulful rap,” a sound that blends heartfelt lyrics with soulful beats, capturing the essence of both the struggle and the triumph that life brings.
Although ZYERDAGREAT isn’t signed to a major label yet, he has his sights set on securing a distribution deal, giving him the freedom to remain in control of his creative direction. Despite the ups and downs of the industry, Jonas finds the most support from his family, who’ve been his backbone throughout this journey.
His latest single Motivated is a testament to his growth, and the music world is eagerly awaiting his upcoming EP, set to drop on January 21st.

He’s also gearing up for a big release on January 10th, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
A self-sufficient artist, ZYERDAGREAT produces all of his own beats and even handles the conceptualization of his music videos, showcasing his all-around talent and vision. His dream is to one day launch his own label and sign up-and-coming artists, following in the footsteps of his heroes. In the next five years, he sees himself running his own successful label, continuing to make soulful rap that resonates with listeners worldwide.
Though he’s had the opportunity to perform in front of crowds of up to 300 people, ZYERDAGREAT dreams of performing in New York, one of the world’s most iconic stages. On tour, he could easily see himself alongside the likes of La Russel, another up-and-coming artist known for his authentic approach to music.
