3/31/2025

0 Comments

 
Today we released part two of our interview with Zoro. Known by musicians around the world as the "Minister of Groove," he's one of the world's most respected and award-winning drummers. For more than thirty years,  Zoro has been consistently voted the #1 R&B drummer and clinician by music industry publications such as Modern Drummer, Drum! Magazine, and Rhythm Magazine.

He's toured and recorded with celebrated musicians, including Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown, Frankie Valli, New Edition, and Jody Watley. In addition to performing, he's a teacher, author, and an inspirational speaker who's worked with organizations such as Compassion International, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and the Head Start Organization.

You won't want to miss this uplifting story of a teen on the edge of homelessness who overcame adversity to become a performing artist who uses his experiences to help others reach their goals!
