Zoo Brazil, better known as John Andersson, was born on September 7th, 1976 and started producing and writing music since the age of 11.
In the last 22 years John has steadily carved out a reputation for himself as one of dance music’s most innovative and respected producers. And with a back catalogue of more than a hundred singles under such monikers as Laid, Cuba Computers, Nars, The Kelly Project, The Wiggs and Outcold, this can hardly be considered a surprise.
John's work has appeared on some of the best record labels in the business, from Get Physical Music, Ministry of Sound and Renaissance, to Strictly Rhythm, Systematic and Yoshitoshi, to Tiesto“s Black Hole label and Armin van Buuren“s Armada Music to name a few. His music has also featured on major labels as EMI, Warner Music, Universal Music, Sony and Virgin.
In the realm of pop music, John has seen much success as a song writer having written Kylie Minogue’s hit song "The One", which featured on her 2007 album “X”. This album was recently nominated at the 51st annual US Grammy Awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album. “X” was also nominated for a BRIT Award for Best International Album and to date has sold over 1.4 million copies. The song “The One” was also chosen as one of the Best Pop Songs of 2008 by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Enter 2009 and John continues to work with and remix some of electronic and pop music’s most influential artists including Moby, Tiėsto, Fatboy Slim, Human League, Dannii Minogue and Nitin Sawhney, as well as a host of the most respected and credible underground status dance acts such as James Holden, Ian Pooley, Rex the Dog, Blaze, Dirty Vegas, Lo Fidelity Allstars, Zoot Woman/Stuart Price (Madonna's producer) and many, many more.
As Zoo Brazil, John also travels all over the world as a well known DJ. He has performed in established clubs including Ministry of Sound and Pacha, and he has played all the major underground clubs and festivals in Australia, Europe, USA and South America.
2010 is certainly going to be another amazing year for John Andersson, with new Zoo Brazil releases on Tiga's Turbo label, Defected, Systematic, Steve Angello’s Size label, Joia, Renaissance, Nero and Dubfire's SCI TEC label. Zoo Brazil will also have an artist album coming out on Tiėsto’s Black Hole Recordings.
