ZYA

Home Town: Modesto, CA Currently Living: Modesto, CA Origin Of Name: Since I was a kid I always got compliments on my real name, Zaya. So rather then try to think of a crazy insane name for the masses, I just took out a letter “A.” Weapon of Choice: My music, my own personal productions and remixes that are not released yet. I like the fact that I can play tunes that no one has heard before and watch them dance to my own stuff. Source of Power: A couple local DJs from home got me into wanting to be a DJ. But what really made me snap was when I first heard the Bangin’ The Box Vol. 1 mixtape from Bad Boy Bill. That intro drove me crazy and made me want to make people dance. Production, I would have to say Daft Punk. Those two French dudes are crazy! A couple guys nowadays influence me, Wolfgang Gartner is my favorite producer at the moment and I feel his work definitely sounds different and stands out…to me of course.
