I'm very pleased to bring you this interview with Jerome of Fold Zandura (formerly Mortal). Fold Zandura is signed with BEC Recordings and have an electronic/semi-industrial sound. Read on to get to know them better.
This interview was conducted in January of 1999.

1. JIM: What are and have been your musical influences?
JEROME: We have been influenced by alot of music: Beatles, Bee Gees, Nirvana, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, The Verve, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Beach Boys...oh I can go on and on...

2. JIM: Do you consider yourselves ministers, entertainers, or both and why?
JEROME: I consider myself a musician. I was never called to be a preacher or anything of the sorts.Unfortunately I'm not gifted in that field. I love doing music and performing it for others.I guess in that sense you can call me an entertainer. I also love the Lord with all my heart and soul and whenever an opportunity arises that I can share that love to others, I will do it.

3. JIM: How does constant touring effect your spiritual life?
JEROME: Touring drains you spiritually because you don't get constant spiritual renewal on a regular basis.You need that fellowship with your local church, at least I do. One good thing about touring though is that you meet extrordinary spiritual people that you wouldn't have met before...and yes, we do get blessed by the people that come to our shows and encourage us and pray for us...Thank you...you know who you are...

4. JIM: What are your most favorite bands to tour with?
JEROME: The cool thing about touring with other bands is that we get to hang out with them and get to know them....we've toured with alot of bands and most of them are just plain awesome (7day Jesus, All Star United, The Insyderz, Plankeye, Stavesacre...)

5. JIM: If you couldn't make music, what would you be doing?
JEROME: Probably work in a government agency that investigates weird phenomenon around the globe...always making sure I have my trusted cell phone with me...you never know when I'll need it...
