When you hear it.  You hear it.
What's the earliest year, then?

ZFG creator/founder Andru Defeye has shared stages with revolutionary poets (Jared Paul, Bonafide Rojas, Jack Hirschman) and world renowned Hip Hop acts (GZA, Pete Rock, Atmosphere) alike and worked to create innovative spaces for art in West Coast communities. As a poet, emcee, and host he has performed everywhere from art museums to festival stages while working as a published journalist and designing a Hip Hop based curriculum that meets common core standards in classrooms.

I've met a ton of amazing musicians and aim to share our creations with you.  I've worked with (Zephyr of Bacterium Radio 94.7, Adrian Gilmore (Poor Majesty), Chris Ryan (Ideateam) Patrick Riley, George Brahler, Jesse Bennet, Brandon Amelio, Zealous, and Chris Tea and many other musicians and lyrists.  In less than two years I've played with For the Funk of It (festival), Mojo Green, Arden Park Roots, and more. In the last year I've connected with Poor Majesty and John Johnson from 5OHM Records to session gigs with Wu Tang Clan's GZA, Aceyalone and helped create an awesome music video for Poor's song "Broadway".  Check them out! I'm currently preparing music videos for songs I've written and recorded and I'm always down for more collaborations.
