Dweezil Zappa (born September 5, 1969) is an American
rock guitarist and occasional actor. He is the son of musical composer and performer
Frank Zappa. Exposed to the music industry from an early age, Dweezil developed a strong affinity for playing the guitar and producing music. Able to learn directly from world class guitarists such as
Steve Vai and
Eddie Van Halen, Dweezil quickly developed into a musical star in his own right, releasing his first single (produced by Eddie Van Halen) at the age of 12.
