Zoyo
Zoyo compositions are a blend of electronic jazz with passion for harmony, simple melodies, rythm and a lounge atmosphere. Chill-out and enjoy.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
After enjoying lounge music in great places like Pearl in Miami or the Bubble Lounge in SF, I decided to compose ambient music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
As a teenager, I played synth in the high school band and was DJ at parties. During the summer, I would take my guitar, head to the beach with few friends, lit a fire, sing and play.
Your musical influences
Bach, Chopin, Jarre, Gainsbourg, Daft Punk to name just a few. Eclectic crowd indeed!
What equipment do you use?
I have enjoyed my Roland JV80 and the Roland MC50 MKII for quite a while. Now I use, Fruity Loops on a fast Pentium. I would recommend high-quality monitors. I have a pair of Mackie HR624 and they are amazing for listening and mastering music.
Anything else?
