Curiosity Killed The Cat is the third single from Stephen Gawking and was preceded by the first 2 singles ‘Nerd’s Creed’ and I’mperfection(s). With the 3rd single, Curiosity Killed the Cat, iFani, Daniel Wesley Africa and Auctavia feature, which, despite its seemingly carefree tone, in fact carries with it a dire warning, gently urging Earth’s peoples to change their destructive ways before it’s too late.

‘076ohone’ is an expert of tones on brand new single ‘Karma Sutra’

Zoul’tis refuses to allow anyone, or anything to discourage her as she unleashes powerful new single ‘Get On’
Growing up, Zoul’tis moved to many cites, seven states to be exact, before the age of 18. All this moving around gave her many opportunities and experiences that she now channels into her music. When her music career first began, she started off with the name “Stoney Soul”, but as she continued to evolve and develop her sound, she made the transition to Zoul’tis. The meaning breakdown behind the name comes from her fascination with astronomy – the summer and winter solstice – and combining elements from her first artist name, with soul being spelt “zoul”, she created Zoul’tis, which in turn means rarity. Zoul’tis started her career in the entertainment industry when she went to college and received a B.A. in Film and Media. She’s always had a love for music and decided to go to a songwriting bootcamp, which in turn helped her realize she wanted to pursue music as an artist rather than limiting herself to being in the background. Zoul’tis values the craft of music production, by wanting to be included in every step of her musical journey; and writes all her music. All her music is based on experiences she’s had in her life.
