About

Hi, my name is Zay P. and I'm a drummer, percussionist, and producer from Williamsburg, VA. I graduated from Bruton High School and later moved to Texas to pursue a degree at Prairie View A&M University. I'm available for public and private events as a solo artist as well as with a group or an ensemble. I am also available for fill-in gigs on the drums as well as a variety of many other percussion instruments.
