Hi! My name is Zen and I am a professional SINGER / GUITARIST with over a decade of performance experience. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I graduated from the Musicians Institute in 2006 and have been a working musician ever since. I am available for WEDDINGS, CORPORATE FUNCTIONS and almost any PRIVATE EVENT you can dream up!
I can provide music as a solo guitarist/vocals, DJ MC, and can also put together a band of two to six pieces.
My cover repertoire includes many classic and modern tracks by artists such as Jack Johnson, The Beatles, The Black Crowes, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Louis Armstrong, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, The Cure, Tom Petty, Coldplay, Nirvana, Green Day, Mumford & Sons, Radiohead, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Bright Eyes, The Shins , Eels and much much more.
I will normally include learning at least one song that is not on my repertoire so that I can accommodate your special tune. I am a fan of all types of music from country to hip-hop to blues and no request is too strange!
I pride myself on being HARD WORKING and ACCOMMODATING. I know finding the right music can be stressful and is only one component of your event so please take advantage of my experience and let me know how I can help.
Thank you for checking out my profile and please let me know if you have any questions!
