ZP ABOUT
Zornu Productions is the result of creative and artistic pursuits of its founder, Michael Paris. MP is a professional musician with more than 25 years’ experience, creating and performing with artists such as P!nk, Train, Stomp, The Dan Band, and Jewel, including 16 years of extensive touring and recording with the American rock band, O.A.R (2005-current). To showcase his musical style, MP created a performance method called GuitarDrumming, which uses an acoustic guitar for both percussion and string accompaniment to his vocals.
In 2007, MP recorded, produced, and released his first album, Flow. In 2013, he recorded, produced, and released his second album, HiHowAreYa, Vol.1. Maximizing his creativity and artistry, he created and produced his history through music documentary series, TuneTrek, filming more than 60 episodes in locations across the United States. In 2020, he recorded, produced, and released a single resulting from his experience filming at the Ka-Bar knife factory.
In March 2020, with touring on hiatus due to the global pandemic, MP saw an opportunity to continue bringing music to his fans, in a new format and delivery method. He launched A Song A Day (ASAD), initially via Facebook Live and then expanding to include simultaneous YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter streams. MP executed all tasks necessary for a successful stream ranging from planning and technical setup, editing green screen content to hosting and performing original and cover songs. Current and past corporate sponsorships include Ka-Bar and Korg.
MP has also recorded and produced multiple corporate promotional videos for corporations such as Bose, Epson, Performer Magazine, Galaxy Audio, and Shutterbug.
In July 2021, MP joined the production staff of Violet Hour Media’s horror podcast, Red Riding Hoods, composing the original score, recording foley, and editing 10 podcast episodes.
In December 2021, the A Song A Day livestream was retired and the Facebook livestream was rebranded as Music. Drink. Stories. (MuDriS), which is scheduled to launch in January 2022. A Song A Day: The Rewind will air once per week, featuring MP’s favorite episodes as well as fan favorites.
