The Team
Zest&Co is a passion project stemming from the ideology of coming as you are and embarking on experiences where you can be unapologetically yourself. The foundation of Zest&Co is built upon supporting the community in their unique styles through a liberating environment oriented around music, style, and love.
Kyle and Gerald met in October of 2021 in a dive bar on the Austin’s beloved Eastside. An ordinary Thursday night evolved into a portrayal of dreams and ideas that lasted into the early morning.
From there, they were set to take-off..
Kyle and Gerald have blossomed into great partners with a common vision to create unique experiences for the Austin community.
With their events, they continually strive to innovate and expand on the highest moments of life.

Gerald Lamina
Born and raised in NJ, Gerald “Ganimal” Lamina moved to Austin early 2022 in hopes of starting a career in music. After playing a few shows at some local spots, he was unsatisfied with things like the ambiance, sound systems, and overall nightlife experience that Austin provided.
To help balance his “9-5” job in engineering, Gerald relishes all opportunities to exercise his creative muscles. Through Zest&Co, he fulfills this by curating unique themes , production pieces, and activations to immerse the event-goer for a truly unique experience.
Lastly, he takes pride in giving proper platforms to other DJ’s/artists who may have never had a chance to play in front of a vivacious audience.
In Gerald’s spare time he enjoys cooking & trying new food, juggling, going to concerts, and working on his music.

Kyle Lewis
Kyle is an ever growing Austin enthusiast who first came to the city to attend school at The University of Texas. His inspiration for Zest&Co came from his desire to improve on the stale “going out” scene. More specifically, he wanted to provide a texturized experience for the plethora of young adults, whom are looking to express themselves with new people in meaningful ways.
Kyle takes pride in empowering those around him and creating welcoming environments for all. He enjoys running, playing basketball, and cold plunging when he is not actively leasing office space throughout the city as a commercial real estate broker.
