About Zach C-O
Zach C-O is a singer-songwriter and audio engineering student at Berklee College of Music. His interest in music began when he first started playing drums at age three. Inspired by artists and bands like Jack Johnson, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, and John Mayer, Zach has found a way to engage with pop and rock music every day of his life, whether through forming neighborhood bands with his friends, teaching himself a new instrument, or writing his own songs. Utilizing his musical experience and education at Berklee, along with his ability to sing and play a variety of instruments, Zach writes, performs, produces, and engineers all parts in his original music. Despite his DIY mentality, Zach loves collaborating, especially producing and engineering other artists like himself.
