About Project 405 If you were to bring together a group of matriarchs for dinner and put Zora Montague at the head of the table, she'd be the first to stun the entire room. With the intense words and raw stories, Montague has managed to create a haven of darkness and insecurity straight from what she describes as "the living hell" of her mind. "Throughout the past three years, I've felt scared and ashamed of what my experiences have made me become. I have never wanted more than to just hide away and never look at what was affecting me anymore. I have tried so hard to not let anyone see this part of me that seemed to be bleeding all over the world's perfectly white carpet, but I don't think any amount of bandages would ever have been able to stop the words from coming out of me, as they always do." At the age of 16, Zora Montague has defined herself as a pioneer in lyricism, taking inspiration from songwriters like Raye and Sofia Isella. You're about to read her year-long project, PROJECT 405, which Montague calls her "darkest project yet."
