Biography
Zuma is a group of young rockers from Kensington, Prince Edward Island, Canada. They were brought up on traditional East Coast and Celtic music, as well as the classic rock of the 1960s, 1970s and beyond. These four self-taught musicians have been good friends and jamming partners for years. The band formed in 2007 and began playing tunes written by the dynamic duo of Dan Paynter and Iain McCarvill. They have the rock and roll sound "impressively figured out" (Kent Aitken, The Cadre) and have used these skills to book their own shows through 2008, have a number of their songs featured on local FM radio and have showcased in the Maritimes at Contact East 2007 and on the Discovery Stage at the 2008 ECMAs.

We have been university students the last few years. We're too poor to do a professional recording at this point but we've been using our time wisely to work on pre-production, song arrangements, and writing new tunes.
