For well over five decades, virtuoso guitarist Ziggy Zapata had been renowned as a dynamic and versatile entertainer with his lightning technique, powerful singing and hilarious comedy. He presented his music, concerts and production shows in a huge variety of venues, on many cruise liners and recording sessions.

Ziggy was recognised by his show business peers by winning and being nominated for a number of entertainment industry awards such as the Australian 'MO' Awards and the Ace Awards.

Although show business was always Ziggy's main profession, he also enjoyed a fascinating life as a computer and IT consultant for over forty years and was involved with electronics and radio communications technology since he was a small child. He held the Advanced Class Amateur Radio Licence since 1980.

Ziggy was also a commercial pilot operating his own aviation charter and scenic flight company for nearly three decades, but was forced to retire from flying for medical reasons.

Ziggy is now retired and enjoying living and relaxing in the beautiful and tranquil Port Macquarie area on the NSW Mid North Coast.
