Zachary W.

Hello. My name is Zach. I am an award winning recording artist, graphic/print designer, and educator. From elementary orchestra to high school symphonies and varsity Jazz, I began my music journey from grade school into Boston’s Berklee College of Music where I studied Jazz Percussion-leading me into full scholarships in music performance at 2 state colleges in Nebraska. Inspired by my collegiate years in the education program, I instructed and mentored as a public school/program educator for over 15 years, and in 2022 was awarded Lincoln Public Schools Inspiring Staff Member Award. A true representative of the independent recording artist, I created and developed 2 internationally recognized bands-accumulating 7 regionally acknowledged tours-including 4 nationally recognized music festivals, 11 unofficial SXSW showcases, 3 internationally acclaimed albums, opening act for The Knux, Lupe Fiasco, Durand Jones, Matt & Kim, and more, as well as acquired an recording artist agreement with independent record label, The Record Machine. Music is a passion of mine that I love to share with the next generation.
