The Story

Kevin Drummond — Zone ATL, formerly Red Zone 1 ATL — has been building in Southern hip-hop since 2001. Atlanta-connected artist, songwriter, studio operator, and music-business consultant with more than two decades in the culture.

He's been signed multiple times to multiple record labels and ran multiple studios — including ownership of Headquarters Studio on Marietta Boulevard in Atlanta. He's worked as a promoter for industry veteran Wendy Day, moved through DJ coalitions (Hitman DJs, Fleet DJs, Go DJs, Core DJs), and been a fixture at the SEA Awards, Diamond Awards, and every major Southern music event.
