zircon
zircon (Andrew Aversa) is a one-man act, writing and producing electronic music in a refreshing, fun style that takes many subgenres of electronic music and combines them into a formidable mix. Breakbeat, trance, breakbeat, big beat, trip hop.. whatever you want to call it, I don't care what's "in" or "hot". I care about whether a song is ENJOYABLE and if you can dance to it!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
For as long as I can remember, I was surrounded by music; usually classical, jazz, or showtunes. When I was about 6, my parents signed me up for piano lessons. Since then, electronic music of sorts began to grow on me- especially video game remixes. Finally, I decided to try my hand at it myself; and here I am.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not as of yet.
Your musical influences
The Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, old-school hip hop/funk/breakbeat, Prodigy, Cirrus, Fatboy Slim, and many others.

Anything else?
I hope you have as much fun listening to my music as I had making it!
