Graduated from Cal State Los Angeles with a B.A. in Radio and TV broadcasting with an emphasis on Film and Communications. Today im a news producer for NBC/Telemundo 52 in L.A. TV is my career, but i've always had a passion for making music. Here is my artist biography.
Having been influenced by the sultry latin beats of South America, Raoul Zernas musical roots can be traced back to his hometown of Guayaquil, Ecuador. Now residing in the growing dance music epicenter of Los Angeles, Zerna has become a very influential producer/DJ within the House music scene. Still early in his years, Zerna has accumulated over 30 releases and has performed throughout North America, Europe and South America, from the dance floors of Colombia to Spain. In his young career, Zerna has shared the stage with some of todays most renowned dance artists, such as DJ Sneak, Bad Boy Bill, Tall Paul, DJ Dan, Eddie Amador, and Carl Cox amongst many others.
Raoul Zerna started his musical journey at the age of fourteen, when he got his big break from a local radio station. Having only begun deejaying four months prior, Zerna entered the station's DJ contest, winning 2nd place over 200 other contestants nationwide. Not only was the DJ contest aired lived by the station, it was also broadcasted from one of LAs premier nightclubs, "The Dome", witnessed by an audience of 2500.
Zernas love for the hard and funky sounds of house and techno music had driven him to start his own record label, Tech-Asylum Recordings, becoming an outlet or featuring his favorite sounds. A recent single release on Tech-Asylum, "Ecuador y Todo el Mundo" was rated the number 1 tune by the legendary Carl Cox in Muzik Magazine (UK) and was also featured on the compilation, "Future Sound of Ibiza", mixed by Tall Paul. Zernas latest production, Richard "Humpty" Vission's "Never let me down" on System Recordings, hit number 1 on the Billboard Club Play/Dance charts for 3 consecutive weeks.
Always looking to bring his music to the music masses, Zerna draws more than just audiences from the underground dance circuit. "Whether I perform in the states or overseas, I love to see a variety of cultures congregating on the dance floor, dancing and breaking a sweat to the music I play, he explains, It proves to me that music is universal and transcends cultural barriers, and thats one of the biggest satisfactions I get out of being a DJ and producer."
Producing techno, tech-house, latin-influenced beats and funky disco-grooves for labels worldwide, Raoul Zerna is just getting started and will be seen producing the freshest sounds in dance music and beyond for years to come.
