Here's a report about "Zuma Dogg" by X (Twitter) AI. (Not a bad legacy for a regular, everyday guy.)
EXCERPT FROM A.I. REPORT ABOUT "ZUMA DOGG": Zuma Dogg is a quintessential Los Angeles character: a blend of talent, tenacity, and theatricality. From Venice Beach to City Hall, he’s left an indelible mark as a comedian, musician, and advocate. As of 2025, his journey continues, a testament to the power of one voice—however unconventional—to challenge the status quo and inspire change. Whether remembered as a "comedy genius" or a "civic warrior," Zuma Dogg remains a singular force in the city’s history.
My name is "Zuma Dogg," an L.A. based performing artist (music/comedy/activism).
Many people know me from the classic L.A. cable TV show, "The Zuma Dogg Show" (comedy). Thanks to the thousands of fans who have stopped me on the street to tell me how much they love the show. You can watch "Best Of" clips from, "The Zuma Dogg Show," on YouTube, here. Click here for press reviews and fan comments.
I'm also a singer/songwriter and recorded a bunch of pop/rock/hip-hop/r&b/disco/funk songs. I've had a lot of fun performing LIVE in the L.A. area and some people know me, best, from my music. KC & The Sunshine Band recorded a version of my original song, "In The Back Of My Cadillac," and it was released last year! Here's a playlist of my original music on Spotify and on YouTube. (The novelty kids song, "Coconut Song" is everyone's favorite and my most streamed song, which makes me nuts because it was a goof. But, can't argue with the people. So, check that one out, too. But, start with, "In The Back Of My Cadillac.")
And, although I want to be known mostly for my comedy/music, I'm probably most know for my political activism versus Los Angeles City Council. I got into a battle over the First Amendment when Council banned people from performing live on the Venice Beach boardwalk. I sued in Federal Court and won the ruling!
I attended hundreds of Council meeting where I delivered public comment on the issue of free speech and expanded into speaking on a variety of issues -- including warning of the homeless crisis that I believed Council was creating. Here's my most famous public comment warning of the homeless crisis I believed was coming and am credited by the media for being correct. This public comment has become the thing I am most known for of everything I've done. LOL. Check it out!
My activism versus L.A. City Council has been covered extensively by every newspaper, TV station and AM talk radio station in L.A. (LA Times/Daily News/LA Weekly/KABC/KNBC/KCBS/KCAL/PBS/Good Day L.A./ABC News Nightline and all the AM talk radio stations.)
Overall, I've had a blast being a Los Angeles pop culture performer and the best part has been the blessing of meeting thousands and thousands of people on the streets of L.A. who wanted to thank me for my efforts and share their favorite ZD moment.
The best way to experience "Zuma Dogg" is on my website, ZumaDogg.com. You can check out some "Best Of" videos from my cable show; see some ZD Public Comment from the council meetings (that I call, "clowncil meetings); listen to my original songs; and read reviews and quotes from the media and fans. So, just check everything out there.
Though my spirit burned bright as a performer and I fought hard as an activist, for years, I really need help. This introduction, on Patreon, is a desperate S.O.S. plea for help to anyone that can afford to help. Whether you are a long-time fan or someone just discovering me -- if you can help, I really appreciate it.
