DJ Bios
Jason Zenz Fridays, 3PM
New to the DJ scene, but dreaming of it since that episode of the Adventures of Pete and Pete, Jason gets the biggest kick out of a guitar riff that will turn your insides to a fuzz pedal. A graduate of the SIU film program, today he fills his time by editing, playing guitar, running, volunteering with CHIRP, and over indulging in coffee, new music, and movies. As proud resident of Bridgeport, (look it up if you don’t know where it is, Chicagoan) Jason hopes his neighbors aren’t too upset that he just got a drum set.
