Paze Zetalla a Finnish guitarist born in 1987 started noodling around  the six string over twenty years ago. He comes from artistic family and as the oldest of the offspring mainly focused on music while the younger sisters inspired on visual arts as well.  

His first instrument was an acoustic guitar but the real lighting struck on his consciousness when he saw Children of Bodom playing live in his hometown. The promise he made himself was that ”he will excercise the electric guitar as long as he can play everything he wants to learn." A childish dream that pushed him to obsession and relentless excercise. That young boy´s dream was to build a studio one day to record his own music and play all the instruments by himself. That goal was achieved twenty years later.      

During his early adulthood he played in various projects varying from rock and party cover bands to black metal. Even though he focused on guitar prone music he was always keen about exploring new instruments and musical influences. Enthusiam grew over the genres and little by little trance and techno lurked in to his playlists. First progressive/vocal trance, later psytrance and techno. Techno can be blamed on Boris Brejcha and his pumping basslines. 

Nowadays Paze is still a music addict. There is not a single day without playing, listening or producing music. The main goal is to make something twisted and different, to mix different styles and bring electric guitar as a quest star in EDM music.

Then:
Bought my first Kam belt drive record decks in 1998, and started DJ-ing shortly around Cork City and County as well as getting a slot on local stations Kiss FM, NRG FM, Klub FM and a few shows on the legendary Radio Friendly. Genres at the time- trance, house and hard-house. Also started using Acid Pro to make my own edits and mashups.

Having been retired from the DJ-ing game since 2006, Ableton Live filled the void as I started to learn to produce tracks.

Now...
In 2019, I picked up my first midi controller, a Pioneer SB3 with Serato Pro and started putting new set mixes on mixcloud.

Currently, I'm putting out bootlegs and mashups using Ableton as a kind of learning curve to making original tracks.

Short term goal - 2k+ followers. DONE!
Long term goal - get something signed! DONE!
New goals incoming, roll on 2023!
