ZaCairo was born as Guillermo F. Maatsen on the 28th of October 1987 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He grew up with 2 different cultures, his mother came from The Netherlands (Europe) and his father from Suriname (South-America).
At the age of six his parents broke up and Z. and his mother moved to Almere (A-Sub). When he became thirteen ZaCairo wrote some things on a paper about how he was feeling that time, from that day he started to write lyrics. But only at the age of sixteen he was convinced that he wanted to make it in the music industry.
Junior (a good friend of ZaCairo) hooked him up with his first show in 2003 at a "Freedom Festival". Many people thought that ZaCairo (that time he was know as "Diamond") was an artist that was already in this game for a while. Although it was his first show he knew how to put a good show together. That day gave him the motivation to do everything for his music.
A couple of months later Z. came in contact with Brownie Dutch (a member of Blaque Flamez) he introduced Z. to all the members of Blaque Flamez and after a while ZaCairo became a part of it. They recorded a track called "What Chu Need' and that one was a big hit on the streets, they even had a interview on television at Urban Lifestyle on The Box.
Before they made some big steps, ZaCairo decided to go on by his own. At that time he started a new group with his friends Frankstarr, Haze & Game Ova called "Diz Trikt". Three elements together, two mc's, one producer & one DJ.
