"Who Is Steve Zimmerman"
Dedicated. Talented. Unique. Visionary. Genius. Absolutely none of
these words describe Orange Entropy Records founder and overlord Steve
Zimmerman.
"Who is Steve Zimmerman?" no one may be asking. Here's the answer.
Steve was born Saava Sytytystulpat (the Finnish word for "spark plug") in
the village of Utoksi in northern Finland. As a member of the Sámi, an
indigenous northern European people, Steve spent his childhood with his
reindeer-herding parents, Nils and Ulla, chanting, playing the Sámi drums
and preparing reindeer for slaughter.
After an "inappropriate encounter" with a reindeer at age 10, Saava's
parents thought it best to send him to distant, unloving relatives in
Minneapolis. Renamed Steve Zimmerman to blend in a with a local KKK
chapter, he spent the next two years being ignored at school, gathering
neighborhood stray cats into slaughtering corrals and talking to an
imaginary Sámi family made from popsicle sticks.
When 12, Steve was willingly kidnapped from a local supermarket by a
musically avant-garde couple who could not conceive. Although they lived
next door to Steve's relatives, no call was ever placed to the police that
Steve was missing.
Inspired musically by the couple, Steve returned to Utoksi to study
Underground Music Label Management at the local university. After
transferring to the university's campus in Los Angeles, Steve graduated
401st in a class of 170 and built the Orange Entropy empire we all know and
loathe today.
When not working on his musical dream, Steve enjoys baking sugarless
cookies in the nude and making his own shoes from scratch. He also is
working on his first book which is expected to be titled "Turning a Profit
from the Mentally Ill."
Steve Zimmerman. Smell his scary essence.
