Jerry Andrews has been playing guitar, drums, and keys since the age of nine. Jerry’s skills as a musician and his eclectic musical background has helped him land soundtrack work for independent films and albums credits on major billboard acts. Jerry Andrews works as a major contributing producer on numerous projects. Jerry and Dimitri’s love of hip-hop and electronic, mixed with live instruments, music first united them in 1997 as they worked on music for their alternative trip-hop group, Zumbi. This initial team effort led to future collaborations, as they began to write music for soundtracks and commercials, as well as producing for and with other artists. Jerry plays all the keys, drums, guitar, and bass, as well as does the programming for Zona. Dimitri has been singing and writing music for years, and his DJing experience has made him attuned to what audiences respond to. He has played in many well know dance clubs in Los Angeles, including King-King, Avalon, and Cinaspace. His traveling, in addition with his exposure to music from around the world, has inspired his vast collection of records which currently numbers into the thousands. Dimitri is DJ/Co-producer/song writer/lyricist for Zona. Now, fast forward to 2015 & Zona now has released on numerous labels, including: Kapa, Good For You Records, and House Tribe Records. Their songs have been remixed for dance clubs by Grammy winning DJ Eric Kupper, Kenny Summit, Demarkus Lewis, Scott Wozniak and many others. Jerry and Dimitri have just finished their soulful house album for Zona entitled “Peace Love and Understanding.” This album embraced different variations of Dance and House music genres, while maintaining their love of funk, disco, techno, and live instrumentation. The lyrics, written by Dimitri, are given a live, deep, and soulful tone provided by vocalists: Angela McGary, Chezere Brathwaite, Jackie Wilson, Wade Chandler, Chellena Black and Valerie Moise (Raistalla). Zona’s house songs are a “feel good music that makes you want to get on the floor and dance.” The lyrics are about joy, love, peace, pain and God. An example, would be for the song “My Love”, God is telling a depressed person about how excellent and gracious His love is. The song "Love To Love You" talks about thanking God for being so wonderful and marvelous. The last song on the album is "Jesus Is", which is about coming out of a dark place. Zona has had performances that have already brought them acclaim and a large following in the Los Angeles area. Zona has recruited various singers for the live show’s and also included Chris Friedman to play the bass for the performance. One of Zona’s major goals is to reach the untouched in clubs and share Jesus' love with them.
