Zah is a DJ, sound shaman, and multi-instrumentalist whose music is a reflection of a lifelong journey through rhythm, culture, and self-expression. A key member of Talk To Me Nice, Nutritional Facts, JAHWEH, bluesun, Sun Lounge, and the Sprout Gang, Zah blends a rich musical heritage into a unique, evolving sound.

Music has been part of Zah’s life since the womb—literally. Born and raised on Maui to a mother and father from Chicago, where house music was born, Zah was immersed in a world where sound was a way of life. Surrounded by the pulsating rhythms of early house music before even taking a first breath, then growing up with the deep, conscious vibrations of roots reggae, music became an undeniable force. Roots reggae remains Zah’s favorite genre, a guiding rhythm that shaped both personal and artistic identity.

From an early age, music was more than just an interest—it was a calling. Growing up in the ‘90s, Zah was also heavily influenced by the golden era of rap music. With a natural talent for the gift of gab and an innate sense of rhythm, rapping became second nature. The fusion of house, reggae, and rap led to a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant—a sound that would eventually find a home in the EDM world.

From writing lyrics at five to beatboxing at seven, picking up piano at nine, drums at ten, and ukulele at eleven, Zah’s musical foundation was built early. By fourteen, GarageBand opened up the world of production, and by fifteen, Logic Pro became the next tool for sonic exploration. Composing a high school band medley that lasted a decade proved that music wasn’t just a passion—it was a purpose.

At Cal Poly Humboldt, Zah studied music composition with a focus on percussion and the marimba, diving deeper into the art of rhythm. College also became a gateway to trip-hop production, rapping, and the underground EDM scene—where DJing naturally became part of the journey. As Zah's artistry evolved, rapping and DJing intertwined, forming a genre-blending sound that refuses to be boxed in.

After years of collaboration, Zah got their first personal DJ deck at 27, unlocking a new depth of connection to mixing. Now, with three CDJs and a Kazoo the craft has evolved into something bigger—an experience, a movement, a feeling.  Zah’s passion for blending beats and lyricism evolved into a distinct sonic experience.

For the past two years, Zah has been DJing in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington playing at venues like 45 East, Wonderlove, Capacity, Golden Rooster and The Haven and festivals like Cascade Equinox and Burning Man. Each performance is a fusion of island roots and percussive energy—a testament to a lifelong love for music while he keeps pushing boundaries and elevating every set.  Zah brings high-energy, genre-blending sets to the stage.

What Motivates i&i
The magic of music is real and music is more than sound—it’s a universal language that connects people, tells stories, and moves the soul. Zah is driven by the magic of sound, the ability to blend influences and create something entirely new. Every performance is an opportunity to transport listeners into a different world, to bring people together through rhythm and energy. Everything happens for a reason, and music is the reason.

"MUSIC IS LIFE" 

"Killing the world with kindness one smile at a time! "

"I’ve always known I just didn’t know what I knew!"

"Work so hard you no longer have to introduce yourself!"

Born in Portland, OR, Mutagen started getting into music when he was in gradeschool playing the trumpet, piano and violin. Soon after, He started falling in love with E.D.M. He couldn't get enough! His first album to own was 'Classical Mushroom' by Infected Mushroom given to him by his uncle and it didn't stop there! Libraries and playlists of music ranging from Psytrance to breaks and hip-hop to Electro were created, passed around and enjoyed by tons of people. His love for sharing music had only STARTED.

About 10 Years ago, Mutagen started his personal E.D.M. journey. Starting with a MIDI mixer and graduating to tables and beyond, he quickly grasped the basics and started expanding his technique as well as his kit. In a couple years, he had a decently sized following from all parts of the globe. Playing on a few Electro online-radio stations and a couple smaller venues in the Portland area gained him a bit more recognition. After that, he started his Youtube channel where he uploads all his his themed sets and mixes, adding more fuel to the fire of awesome.

Being a 'techie' and a hardcore gamer, Mutagen started sampling all his favorite video games and movies for his mixes, sets and routines. Now these aren't any ordinary 'on the drop' samples that you hear every day. Mutagen tells the story of the game and characters, bringing the tension, dialog, music and nostalgia from those games to people's ears, sparking that memory and surge of emotion that we all love and require from good music. When he's not playing his video game sets and routines, he's mashing and sampling other tracks in amazing and utterly ridiculous 3 and 4-deck, two minute transition sets that keep pulling in those listeners and fans-to-be from all over.

Mutagen is always looking for new ways to give himself (and others) those telltale goosebumps. In fact, that's why he chose the name 'Mutagen';

mu·ta·gen
Noun.
An agent, such as a chemical, ultraviolet light, or a radioactive element, that can induce or increase the frequency of mutation in an organism.

His goal is to change the way people see, hear and think about Electronic Dance Music, to pull people of all sizes, colors and shapes together to dance, learn and party. He wants to be that radioactive agent of change.

Once you enter his world, you won't come back to reality the same.
