ZONA has also garnered attention on SoundCloud through posting a variety of different DJ mixes, most famously his Cocktails & Dreams Mix Series. As COVID 19 hit the world, he switched over from performing to live streams on Twitch and has been on the platform since.

There is nothing better for ZONA then setting the vibe for an event and watching everyone dance.
