I play drums, have a BS in Music Business, and have been a natural entertainer from the jump; I've displayed a wide range of artists/groups that I've worked with in the past and encourage you to take a moment and listen.  If you like what you hear, I'm currently seeking the right team to join.  Location is not an issue as long as you dwell on Earth...someone stole my spaceship. 

So grab your earlobes and bend, this is big business!

I'm theZim Yo! What else to you need to know...? Ok you might want to know that I am a musician from Seattle. I play lots of things: Guitar, Harmonica, Keys, Bass, Sing, Rap and Sax. I've played in some cool bands this page has a bunch of music form them hope you like it!

"Zim’s often catchy yet meaningful lyrics, combined with bouncy guitar licks and an occasional blast from his harmonica, offer the audience an energetic set. It’s difficult not to share the enthusiasm and excitement he so obviously has while performing. Zim is joined by the drummer with the best posture, Arock, who supplies the steady rhythm and witty banter that makes this duo unique." - Jodi Kaufer (seattleshowgal.com)

"Seattle’s dynamic duo...Energetic and just-the-right length tunes keep theZim & Arock’s sets moving at a swift pace and it won’t be long before you find yourself tapping your foot over bobbing your head right along with these boys"- Jodi Kaufer (seattleshowgal.com)

"Trying to pull off a great sound, recorded or live, with only two people is no simple task, but these guys do it with ease. The Zim tends to keep the guitar work pretty simple to leave room for his lyrics. The beat sits nicely on top of the sound and rides the wave back and forth from simple to complex. It’s really good stuff." - Billy McManus (seattleshowgal.com)
