Early life

Zack Bialobos was born on June 8, 1996, in New York City. His parents split when he was 9, and was raised by his mother as a result. Bia's mother would expose him to music and magazine culture at a young age.[2] Inspired by this, Bia would make money by downloading music on people's iPod's when he was 8 or 9.[3]

Career

2015–2018: Club promotion and DJing

On Bia's 19th birthday, while attending the University of Southern California, he visited a Los Angeles nightclub for the first time. Rapper Fetty Wap was also there, and he invited Bia and his friends to party with them. Following the party, a promoter asked for Bia's number, assuming he was a member of Fetty Wap's entourage. After bringing college classmates to parties he attended, he was getting paid $100 to promote the club once a week. Eventually he was discovered by John Terzian, founder of the H.Wood Group, and worked alongside him. After hosting and DJing parties and dinners at the nightclub Delilah, Bia befrended musician Drake in 2017. He then cameoed in Drake's music video for "Money in the Grave", which garnered speculation as to who he was.[1]

2018–present: A Field Trip Recordings

In 2018 Bia co-founded independent record label Field Trip Recordings along with James Canton. He has since signed rappers Yeat, SSGKobe, Slump6s, HVN, OnlyBino, and singer Mallory Merk, all of whom are in partnerships with major record labels.[1]
