While Lorenzo “Zo!” Ferguson could be classified as a beat-maker based on his early hip-hop releases and productions for others in the first few years of the 2000s, he has always been a musician first.
Foremost a keyboardist, yet who also plays bass, drums and guitar and writes, arranges and produces his own material. He has subsequently thrived with a sound that puts a contemporised twist on soul and jazz fusions of the late 70s and early 80s. From 2010 through to 2019. Beginning with Manmade and closing out the decade with FourFront, Ferguson issues solo albums every three years with the support of primary collaborators The Foreign Exchange and ventured into writing and producing music for film and television including the series Black Dynamite and Sherman’s Showcase. He has since entered the 2020s with the Tall Black Guy collaboration Abstractions.
