Jevon Max, founder of Zenzy Tales

Hi, I'm Jevon.

Founder · Zenzy Tales · Chennai, India

I build things on the internet for a living: websites, ebooks, marketing for small brands. But ZenzyTales is the one closest to my heart.

It started with a story I wrote called The Rainy Day, a twelve-chapter thriller for kids about a storm and two children braver than they knew. I planned to finish it in a week. Instead I kept sitting down to write one page and looking up two hours later. Somewhere in there I realised this was what I wanted to make: stories for children, told well, at the hour of day when a story matters most.

I'm from Chennai, a city that runs on stories. I watch a couple of films every weekend (Tamil, Korean, Hollywood, whatever's good) and I've carried that love of a well-told tale my whole life. Kids feel that love instantly. Read to a child and watch their face: nobody listens like they do. Building something for that audience, for that wide-eyed twenty minutes before sleep, is the best job I've ever given myself.

So here's what ZenzyTales is: calm, original audio stories for ages 3 to 12, with two new ones every week. Gentle voices, soft music, endings that land like a blanket being pulled up. No ads inside stories. No tracking your child. Nothing scary before bed, ever.

When I'm not writing stories, I'm playing badminton or table tennis, watching cricket, or planning a trip I probably shouldn't afford yet. Vietnam and New Zealand hold my two favourite memories.

Thanks for letting my stories into your home. It means more than you'd guess.

Goodnight,
Jevon Max
