Zayn

Zayn states in an excerpt from his self titled book: "Back in the city, we were hanging out one day, shopping for musical instruments, and I told Malay that I wanted to play a lot more guitar. That’s when he told me about the Martin Backpacker. "It's a little travel-sized thing," he said. "You can take it anywhere, it's the size of a backpack. It's like a mini-guitar." When we found a shop that had one, I bought it, and I loved it from the minute I started playing it."
