Born and raised in Michigan, Jeff Zander (Z Factor/Music Artist and Zander/Artwork) moved to Tampa Florida just after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Was inspired to create music as early as 1986 back in High School in Michigan and creating artwork, mostly photographic imagery/art, since after moving to Florida. Zander found the natural beauty of Florida to be very appealing and sometimes so beautiful that it had to be recorded into images. 

Progressing, Zander started to take pictures of Florida landscapes, sunsets, concerts, fireworks, and architectural environments. He has even gone as far as entering a Technical Institute to learn more about imaging and photographic  work to get that better picture. As early as 1983 Zander was into computer artwork with the Tandy 1000 and a Vic 20, and moving forward to 1994 Windows 3.1. Learning a lot more about computers from there Zander also takes interest in HTML and website creation and re-sparks the interest in music making with the Playstation in 1999 while going back to College for networking and A+.

Now inspired by the power of computers, Zander brings forth his creativity ranging from his photography, imaging, and music. Armed with various tools of the trades started music production under the handle "Dj Zander" in mid 2000 with the release of his first song created "Hyperspeed" and posted it on mp3.com (now defunct). Later changed the music handle name to Z Factor after wanting to start publishing artwork on the net as well as wanting a more commercial name. Zander has made over 50 songs and taken thousands of pictures in his journey to find that inner emotion expressed into his images and music.
