Brad Zapper started his music career early, playing in the Six Flags over Magic Mountain house band by night, while attending high school by day!  This band was used by the Musicians' Union to open free trade of entertainment groups between the United States, South America and Mexico, where they toured for half a year.

More currently, in 1997, Brad had a hit single in Scandanavia with the band The Railbirds.  He played guitar, keyboards and wrote material, very much the style of Desperado.
