about
Rusty Zinn was born in 1970 in Long Beach, Ca. Rusty's love for music began at the tender age of five upon hearing sweet vocal harmonies on the radio. As Rusty says, "one of my first musical memories is driving in the back seat of my folks old Toyota as my Mother drove to the laundromat and hearing The Stylistics and The Spinners on the car radio. I don't think my Mom was necessarily digging on it, I think she just merely had the radio on, but those sounds stuck with me." Rusty also credits his folks' love of the Wolf Man Jack radio show as a huge influence on his love for music. "Hearing all those sweet Doo Wop sounds and deep Soul music, Motown, all of it helped shape my idea of what elements music should embody." All this roots music led to Rusty's deep passion for the Blues, Soul and R&B, and ultimately the Jamaican sounds that he holds so dear to his heart in the form of Rock Steady, Reggae, and Ska! Rusty's talents run deep. He’s a soul satisfying singer, a guitar maestro of the first order, and an insightful and thought provoking songwriter. And, having established himself early on as a top shelf Blues player – he’s got an impressive resume, touring and recording with a virtual who’s who of the genre including Jimmy Rogers, Snooky Pryor, Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton, and Kim Wilson – and even after being nominated for the very prestigious W.C. Handy Award, Zinn found himself looking for more musically and spiritually. Most artists when discovering a niche that meets
