Finatik N Zac
Encyclopedia
Finatik N Zac are an Australian duo signed to producer Jim Jonsin
's "Rebel Rock Entertainment". The duo consists of Michael "Finatik" Mule and Isaac "Zac" Deboni.
One year and much media attention later his talent was noticed when Finatik gained a sponsorship deal with Ecko Clothing and aligned forces with the well-known Terntable Jediz—joining current members DJ Sheep, DJ Damage
, Krypton and DJ Kenny —which led to exposure both interstate and overseas. All this, at the age of fifteen. With constant hard work and dedication, Finatik started hosting his own hip hop radio show Underground Airplay with fellow Perth DJ Blade. It soon became so popular that it led to many high-profile performances and professional relationships, including his current partnership with founder and C.E.O of Stadium Music Management, Joel Brown.
By the time Finatik had reached eighteen, he had accomplished what most high school students had only dreamed of, and had acquainted himself with some of hip hop’s biggest names such as DJ Premier, Method Man & Redman, Jurrasic 5, Black Eyed Peas, Mix Master Mike etc...
During this time, Finatik continued to broaden his skills and decided that he wanted to be more involved in creating and developing the beats that he had become so used to playing on the decks weekly at resident nightclubs of up to 5,000 people all around Australia and Asia. Word spread fast that this popular young DJ had retired from battles and would be pursuing his production career.
It was then that he was introduced to another Perth production heavyweight, Isaac Deboni, known as Zac, who had completed a diploma in audio engineering from the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) straight out of high school.
His years of learning the piano and drums as a child were paying off, and he began to share his genuine talent with local artists, allowing him to perfect his craft. At nineteen, Finatik’s radio show co-host, Joel Brown, envisaged a power-house producing duo and began to shop their beats to various artist managers in the US.
The signed production duo are now living and working in Miami, Florida.
Finatik n Zac have worked alongside top of the line writers such as Rico Love (Beyonce, Usher, Dirty Money), The Jackie Boyz
(Madonna, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Flo-Rida), Heather Bright (Justin Bieber, Toni Braxton, Fantasia, Brandy), Andre Merritt (Chris Brown, Rhianna, Backstreet Boys), Edwin "Lil' Eddie" Serrano (Kylie Minougue, P.Diddy, Jo Jo, Jay Sean), Ali Tamposi (Beyonce), Che'Nelle
