In 2013, my neighbors forced me to get rid of my home studio after multiple noise complaints. At that time, I worked at School of Rock Portland as an instructor, and my boss very graciously allowed me to move my studio into a rehearsal room at work. Zip Zap remains in the heart of School of Rock, surrounded by kids learning to play music. It is dark room with no windows, where I spend about 10 - 1
3 hours a day either teaching kids piano, or producing music, or teaching kids to produce music or play the piano. Zip Zap has been the starting place for local projects Chanti Darling, DNVN, Du Og Meg. Several other artists have come through the studio at various times, including: Neill Von Tally, Natasha Kmeto, Perfect Health, Nafisaria Scroggins-Thomas, Maarquii, The Last Artful, Dodgr, Ripley Snell, Light Asylum, and Megan Diana.
