Buzzing sounds from a hotel room. Sirens. People chattering through the walls.

While ZOTEYE physically grew up in Belgium, they daydreamed often about the United States. Hollywood movies. New York skyscrapers. But in 2014 when ZOTEYE met their twin flame, a Louisiana native, they found themselves more frequently traveling between Belgium and the Southern parts of the US. This resulted in many deeper impressions of the richness, beauty and complexity that ultimately make it virtually impossible to bundle everything “America” is into one single label.
