Zachary Vacek

Zachary Vacek come from so many different places musically that it’s hard to put a finger on anything that he is not influenced by. As a little kid, his idea of music was exclusively limited to country music because that’s all that his dad cared much for, and country is all that ever got played on the radio at home. When he was finally old enough to buy my own cd player, he rebelled against his country roots and started listening to any punk rock that he could sneak past his parents. When high school came around, he and his friends started recruiting members for a third-wave ska band, horns and all. They played all over Texas for the next four years and their following in Houston slowly grew over time and after a ton of hard work. After doing the ska thing for a long time, He decided to try something new, so he teamed up with another friend of his and started an electro-pop band, which lasted a good two years before they called it quits. After my high school days ended, I decided to take a break from music to explore the things he really loved about it in the first place. Zac realized that what he love about music isn’t where music can take him, but where he can take music. It’s creation and expression, experience stripped down to its most basic form. Music is something he needs to do for himself. It isn’t who he is, but it is necessary in learning who he is.
