NOTE: Don't try to pigeonhole me, y'all...it's an unseen, one-of-a-kind phenomenon; of multi-genre, performing artist excellence. Don't punish yourself trying to compare it to anything else. That would be a purposeful diminishment of my legacy and reputation, in whole, y'all. ;) YouTube.com/ZumaDogg
Zuma Dogg created the reality TV concept (inspiring all the Malibu kids who got shows you love to hate); and broadcast the first selfie-video, ever -- on his all selfie TV show.

* "Zuma Dogg, who is smarter than and knows more about city government than most Council members, has become something of an urban folk hero, skewering City Hall foibles and failures in his frequent public comment appearances broadcast on Channel 35. His campaign for mayor attracted a respectable number of votes." - Ron Kaye/RonKayeLA.com

* "Something between stunned and amazed. We''ve never seen anything like it. I like Zuma Dogg. He's a class act." - Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson
"Zuma Dogg" is a pop-culture/comedy character (like an "In Living Color"/"SNL" character); that became politically active, when City of L.A. banned amps on Venice Beach boardwalk. The rest is U.S. history.
In 2006, Mr. Dogg became active in #LA City Hall politics, when City Council passed an ordinance banning amps on the Venice Beach boardwalk. ZD attended several hundred council meetings; to discuss this free speech issue (and then extending into a myriad of citywide issues). The meetings were broadcast on City TV with twelve airings a week; with ZD speaking throughout.
Zuma was also a frequent caller on KABC/KRLA/KTLK/KFI, with several hundred, high profile calls, as a City Hall insider. (A familiar face and voice in L.A. media market with top-of-mind awareness and huge street recognition.)
Zuma Dogg eventually sued the City of Los Angeles, in Federal Court; and the judge ruled that L.A. City was guilty of breaking the law, in censorship of the public.
City of Los Angeles had to change their shady rules, both on the Venice Beach boardwalk; and in City Council chambers, during public comment forums. It became a free speech issue that made local, national and international newspaper headlines.
KABC RADIO TALKER KEVIN JAMES (NOW CITY COMMISSIONER) DISCUSSES IMPACT OF ZUMA DOGG
After years and years of speaking throughout the televised council meetings -- and all the calls into radio -- Zuma Dogg is a semi-household, brand name for watchdogg, political activism -- and hilarious TV street reality; as never seen.

"The city that silences a critic will injure itself as much as it injures the critic, for the gadfly’s task is to stir into life the massive beast of the city, to rouse each and every one of you, to persuade and reproach you all day long.” - PLATO. The court GRANTS in favor of Plaintiff (Zuma Dogg) vs City of Los Angeles. Los Angeles City Council violated the law in censorship of the public." - Federal Judge Dean D.
