Zerby, the First White Female Dancehall Reggae Artist

---

What are the chances of a born and bred Midwestern female from a midwestern family becoming a reggae dancehall deejay? Pretty slim! But the story of Zerby is nothing short of sensational. With a lot of guts, determination and talent, she defied the odds and has proven that she can "lick a mic" just as well as a Jamaican yardie. She threw herself into a world of the unknown and learned the know-how, survived, and has become the next female deejay (rapper) sensation.
Zerby has worked with the top producers in reggae like Sly Dunbar who produced Gwen Stefani. She has shared the stage with DJ greats Beenie Man, Sean Paul and Bounty Killer as well as singers Beres Hammond, Maxi Priest and Marcia Griffiths.

Her latest album set for release in October 2005 features the hottest dancehall rhythms and also some hot reggae rhythms. After touring for six years and living in the caribbean, she now resides in the U.S. The versatility on the fifteen song CD will generate many fans in the rock, rap and reggae world.

"I was in Jamaica when artists Beenie Man, Sean Paul and Wayne Wonder, including others, started their careers. It was a great learning experience to live in Kingston and embrace the Jamaican culture. I figure, if you want to do a certain genre of music, you want to live the culture. That is the only way I see to write and perform this music-by staying true to its roots." Far from the touristy destinations Jamaica is known for, Zerby lived in Kingston, one of the caribbean’s largest cities boasting a population of 2.5 million people, where she honed her skills to the point where even Jamaica's top entertainers and producers took notice.

Zerby will be performing at various venues in the U.S. You can check her website at www.zerbymusic.com for concert updates and information. Her CD is available at www.cdbaby.com.
