Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Zamora.
Hi Michael, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I started playing guitar when I was 15. I got my first guitar when I was 11 but I quit because my hands were too small and I was more interested in baseball. I almost immediately started writing my own songs but it wasn’t until I was 18 that I felt like my songs were good enough to show people. After my first year in college in 2013, I started Posival and by 2016 we released 3 demo albums before I ended the project, not starting it again until 2019. Clint joined the band in 2019 and has been with the band ever since.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It’s been a very difficult time doing this band at certain times. Clint knows better than anyone but I almost stopped doing the project several times even after he joined the band. In 2016 I didn’t think I’d ever do it again but I suppose songwriting is just my gift in my own way. Even if it doesn’t make sense or I am exhausted by life, I tend to just always end up writing some kind of song.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I play guitar and sing in Posival, but I also recorded drums for the band’s most recent releases since we didn’t have a drummer for a while. I guess what I’m most proud of is being able to manage my life and continue this artistic thing for so long now. I don’t really care about awards or anything like that but I think my own mind was my own worst enemy for a long time and the fact that I’m still doing it and have some of my best friends in the band with me with Clint and Daniel is honestly more than I could ask for.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I grew up in Fort Worth, but I was born in Arlington, lived in San Antonio until I was 6, and lived in Irving all through high school, Denton in college, lived in Austin for about 8 months, and now I’ve settled in Dallas. It feels like I’ve been all over Texas so if this music thing ever was to take off, I think it would be interesting to see what city would try to make claim as my hometown lol.
