SEEKING
Band to Join, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Cello, Flute, Harp, Other Percussion, Piano, Violin.ABOUT
My name is Zach. I am a drummer of 10+ years and currently work full time as a record producer/composer. Currently, whilst I use my instrumental abilities in my own productions I wish to seek out a band who needs a drummer and wishes to do local shows around Los Angeles to meet more people in the live music scene as I used to be in a band before I was doing production full time. There is a pocket and passion that is a rarity to assess when playing live music, and I'd love to be an asset to anyone looking for a drummer as well as a recording studio where we can Jam in the west Hollywood area. That is where my studio space is located.

Influences
I work on a lot of different records, mainly when it comes to producing hip hop and pop indie genres. However my influences come from jazz and funk from my previous bands to electronic music artists that peaked the beginning of my interest in producing. My current favorite artists in my rotation are Bon Iver, Labrinth, Travis Scott, Mary J Blige, and Radiohead amongst others.
