Bio

Having lived his entire life in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Zach
Pohl considers it his home base. From his early beginnings there, he has
identified and perfected his musical talents, not only as a gifted singer,
but also as a talented song writer and musician.

At the early age of nine, Zach began singing solos in church services and
pursued that calling throughout his entire life, singing in church and
prestigious high school choirs. He continued his singing career at TCU
and afterwards with the Dallas Symphony Chorus as well.

His musical abilities were evident as early as his singing talents. By the
third grade, he began taking piano lessons; in junior high and high
school, he played the French horn and trumpet. By the time he
graduated from high school, he was singing and playing keys with a local
band of musicians.

After graduation, he pursued a degree in music at TCU, graduating in
2002. He also served as a music director for various churches
throughout the area, searching for his niche in life, when a friend
approached him about writing a song for her wedding. That inspiration
prompted him to begin writing, and since then, he has found that
niche.

Not long afterwards, he decided to play bass for a local rock band.
Within six months, he had become their lead singer and songwriter,
fulfilling a life-long dream. After the group disbanded, Zach continued
his fervor for writing and eventually co-founded a songwriting troupe,
finding new inspiration in folk, soul, and blues music. The influence of
these talented individuals helped shape his attitude about, and his
commitment to, songwriting.

From 2004 to 2006, Mr. Pohl played bass, sang lead vocals, and wrote
songs for the group Madera. In 2006 he joined singer Douglas Kent,
playing bass and singing vocals together. Later he played guitar and
harmonica, sang vocals, and wrote songs for the 508's, a folk group he
founded himself.

Today Mr. Pohl pursues his passion with a tireless enthusiasm and
commitment. He has been a solo acoustic artist since January, 2008,
recording one demo and one CD. He has sung back-up vocals for
Richard Davis, served as interim road manager for Max Stalling, and
written over 50 original songs, all as a result of his insatiable appetite for
writing and performing. He says, “As a solo artist I've been paving my
way, cutting my teeth, and paying my dues just to establish myself as a
songwriter. It's a long, hard, and lonely road, but I enjoy every minute
and would not give it up for the world. I do not write songs for fame or
fortune, nor will I pretend to be someone I'm not. I will continue to
write and perform to give back to the music community that made me
who I am.�
