My name iz Ralph Redd better know az the Z!g~Zag Mann born in Kansas City, Mo. came out to San Diego at the age of 4.Been writing muzic since I waz 11 yrs old grew up liztening to R&B,Soul and Hip Hop muzic.My early Influence'z are Smokey Robinson,Prince,Morris Day,El De'Barge,RFTW,New Edition,Force M.D.'s,Full Force,Keith Sweat, Guy,Sugar Hill Gang,Kool Moe Dee,Run-DMC,Whodini,Kurtis Blow,Beastie Boy'z,Fat Boy'z,Heavey D & The Boy's,Doug E.
