Exclusive interview from Zef Zakaveli:
Zef, could you please tell us the story about your life before street workout became a part of your life?
Before street workout my life was really fast and reckless, I’ve done a lot of things that I’m not proud of. I live my life carelessly, I was motivated by the wrong things. After my father died from colon cancer it change the way I viewed life. Reality hit me like a Mack truck, it made me a colder person but at the same time it made me respect life more. I started to change the people I hanged around with , change the way treated my body. I always worked out but I never took it serious as I do now. There’s too much for me to explain for a interview,maybe I’ll write a book one day, lol
I have noticed that you are a calm and polite persona, are there situations in life that make you lose control?
I lose control a lot of times it’s just I know when to let it be seen and not to. I lose control when anyone I care about becomes in danger. What makes me calm is that I like to view things from every angle and I try my best to foresee reactions from my actions. I often put myself in another persons shoes to get a better understanding of different situations.
Physically you are developed well, and according to thecitations, intellectual development is not far behind. Tell us how do you get the knowledge, do you read books, andwhat kind of music you do you listen to?
I don’t read as much books as I use to, I do more reading online because it’s much more convenient, so many things interest me, like space travel, ancient Egypt, conspiracy theories, too much to list. Musically I grew up on classical and jazz, because my father was a musician and a piano teacher. Don’t get me wrong, I do listen to the obvious which is hip-hop, r&b, reggae..
A friend of mine noticed some similarities with you and2PAC, have anyone told you this before? Can you tell us what made you to the choose your nickname as Zef Zakaveli, because Tupac was also known by the nickname Don Makaveli, is this connected with your choice?
Definitely, Tupac is one of my favorite artist besides Sade because of the passion he put in to everything he did, he was the best to me and a originator that doesn’t get the credit he deserved. He was also a Gemini like me, that explain the alter egos that I battle with time to time, lol
Often come across photos where you are cycling. What are you fascinated about except workout and cycling? Do you experience in other sports?
Fixed gear bikes are a totally different experience from just cycling. Riding a “fixie” is being apart of another culture on its own, not only is it harder to ride but it takes a lot courage to ride a bike in the city with no brakes. I also enjoy swimming and playing basketball which was the first sport that sparked my competitive nature.
