Zac was raised in a family of music. Seeing The Grateful Dead for the first time at three months old and growing up side stage at Hot Tuna shows with his uncle, engineer Jason Greenberg, Zac was always interested in tonal creativity. Since starting his professional career Zac has played with many notable artists including Breanna Barnera, Nathan Xander, Casey Abrams, Joe Chamber, Brad Shepik, Barry Mitterhoff, Michael Falzarano.

Zac has used his music to cross collaborate with every medium from sound to film to dance to smell and taste. Any project that activates multiple scenes. He’s done sound installations for festivals like Blink! Cincinnati and AYATANA. Dance work with Cincinnati Ballet, Sean Greene’s Shield Wall, and Charlotte Katherine and Co. Sound and music for multiple award winning feature films, short films, and web series. Art therapy with his 501c3 Musicians for Health through sound, dance, virtual reality, and more. Runs live sound for major NYC venues including the United Nations and artists as varied as Ween, Nails, Bob Weir, Jorma Kaukonen, and Marc Ribot. Zac has a recording studio in Lower East Side NYC, Taste Sound Studio, where he has produced over 30 projects from americana to classical, metal to indie.
