MUSIC VIDEO: UNIQUE ZAYAS – “MANIAC”

February 8th, 2011

Check out the debut video from singer/songwriter UNIQUE ZAYAS. The rising star was once signed to Def Jam but recently decided to part ways with the label in order to have more control over his career. Pretty popular in Japan (already has an album out over there), the NYC native is now setting his sights for the U.S. domination.

For more info on Unique, check out his video and interview feature with Society & Style. The single, “MANIAC” IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD on iTunes.

What did you think of the video & song?

      Wait; let me get this straight…he’s a rookie?!?

      Rookie, only because he’s not on a major I guess, but if this is what independent artist are putting out with their own money and effort than who needs a major deal! I think we need to support more indie artist for real. they work too hard man!

    I LOVE THIS VIDEO.. I’m very Proud of Unique..
    To be honest i’m Really Glad that Unique Took the High road and broke away from DefJam, I’ve been a supporter for a while and it seemed as if they were just holding him back from what he wanted to do… I like what “AMBITIOUSGIRL” said “i respect unique & his team for delivering the way they did, especially on an independent route”… This is a Great video and Song, I love the story line and everything about it! And i’m just saying all this b/c i’m a Fan,i’m pretty sure if anybody sees this video or hear this song will think its DOPE..Unique “WILL” take over ! #TeamUnique =)
