Zlato: (Slavic) of gold or golden Although one definition, Zlato is of multilateral meaning. To begin, we are a collaboration of the brightest minds doing extraordinary things. We breed creativity, embolden passion, and incite emotion. We create music. The term stands for a journey, a progression of finite inception and indeterminate end. The initial intent of this was to convey our feelings and character in the form of music. However, through music we came to uncover ourselves and who we truly are. The stages in ones life aren’t linear, or in any given order but rather through a constant cycle of discomfort, progress and triumph. Zlato doesn’t stand for any one of these instances, but rather for every point in each phase and chapter. Like the changing of seasons, there is a cycle of each and every emotion. Happiness, sadness, fear, doubt, pride, guilt and excitement. We internalize this cycle as our perpetual chase towards purpose, happiness, and life, and translate it into music. And with music we have created Zlato. For that reason, the name, the brand and the music stands for myself and who we truly are.
