Lyricist/Songwriter - and music aficionado.Band/artist history
You are seeing it, unfold.Have you performed in front of an audience?Initially, I did some performing in public (bars, community events, praise bands, and street fairs).
Followed by a period of.. re-interpreting songs made famous by popular artists. - A process that I started to find rather intriguing for a while.
Now, It's primarily about writing & producing a variety of "new" music... while enjoying various parts of the creative process.
Your musical influences
Anything and everything that I have ever heard has influenced me... in one way, or another.What equipment do you use?
Bass, guitar and keyboards... mostly.
And, using DAW's for recording & producing projects to flesh out musical ideas.Anything else?
I have always believed that the job of an artist has never been to merely reflect the status quo.
I feel the artist is also obligated to entertain, amuse, & educate... and, also to shock, appall, stimulate, irritate, and shatter old perceptions... while pushing the public in new directions they had never imagined.

Ah, I like the coolness of this piece! Lounge music that gets your head bopping and feet tapping! Very well produced and put together!whoa, what the funk! the energy coming from the horns is like next, next level! so punchy and giving such a dynamic buzz to this cool piece, dig so much your mixes and recordings (everything is where and as it should be) - you more than succeeded Zak, it's edgy, it's funky, it's melodic, it's rich in sound and it's dynamic!! 10/10!Superb production, great vibe.
