ZZ Moor

ZZ MoorName: ZZ Moor

Nickname: Whatever you want it to be. But some fun one’s I’ve accrued over time? Z, Ziggy, Z-za-nader (my favorite), Zan-gy (my least favorite). When I was a child my entire family called me Ziggy. Eventually my father banned it because he wanted me to learn my true name.

Age: Guess.

Hometown: Oakland, California (but San Francisco is my home.)

Ethnic Origin: African, Native-American, French

Birthsign: Aquarius

Favorite music, band: I should say Exes Eyes, which is a project I’m currently working on. Check us out at: https://www.facebook.com/exes4eyes. But I love all things Rock n’Roll, which is general I know. LOL. But just to name a few some o’school some new…Bowie, Kate Bush, Genesis (Gabriel only), Zeppelin, Anna Calvi, Arcade Fire, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Editors…the list could really go on.

Hobbies: All things music. I sing. I love to sing.  I also play guitar. But I like to pretend I’m my own band. Which makes for an interesting workout. 

Favorite artist (any kind): David Bowie

Currently you’re obsessed with/about: Currently I’m obsessed with accents/ dialects. I’m in a play called Chasing Manet, by Tina Howe.  Show information here: http://www.seniorhousingoptions.org/chasing-manet/ I do a total of 3 different accents/ dialects for the show. Spanish, New Jersey, and French. I’d have to say Spanish has been my favorite one of all to learn. It’s been a fun challenge.

Who would play you in the movie of your life? Me.

If you could have had the starring role in one film already made, which movie would you pick? Dorothy Dandridge. But just for a giggle, Darth Vader. I mean how cool would that be. “Luke, I am your father.” But I really should have been in the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. It would’ve been a totally different movie. “Badassness all around, baby.”

Weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten: A Kangaroo Burger.  But a close second fried pickles.

Favorite ‘Colorado Experience’: Casa Bonita. Amazing!
