BABY POWDER

DJ Punch Zanzibar - Baby Powder

Most people know me as DJ Punch Zanzibar, but my government name is Andrew Phillip. I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey and I lived in all three projects back in the 60's and 70's - Hayes Homes, Scudder Homes, and High Park Gardens better known as Prince Street Projects.

Back in the day my environment was rich with soulful music. I was Influenced by my talented father who was a professional drummer, my aunt on my mother's side who sang in the big choir at church, and my uncle who owned a record shop on Branford Place next to club Sensations and who also played the conga in an authentic big band.

In the mid 70's, Punch began hanging out with big name DJ's such as DISCO CHUCK who worked with RICHARD LONG, KELLY who owned CLUB SENSATIONS, MARK 4 DISCO, G.O.L.D. PROD., MR C DISCO and FUNKY BILL CLUB ZANZIBAR
