Degree in Music at De Anza College in 2016, and a B.M. in Music Composition from San José State University in 2020.

Being the son of two hairstylists, Zachary has grown up in an artistic household.  He began experimenting with electronic music production and composition before his tenth birthday and has been an avid guitarist since he was eleven years old.  Zachary studied business in high school at the Institute of Global Commerce and Government (IGCG,) in Tracy, California.  While continuing his studies in college, his interest in music began to take precedence and he soon switched majors.Currently, Zachary is composing music for a number of contrasting ensembles using traditional acoustic instruments, electronic instruments and a combination of both.  He is currently building a portfolio of music with aspirations of attending graduate school in 2021 for composition.  In his spare time Zachary enjoys attending concerts, cooking, reading and spending time with friends and family.
