Born Zachary Dean Skinner on June 9, 1988 in McKinney, TX , he started writing his own music at age 17 drawing his influences mostly from the alternative, punk and indie/College Rock scene of the early ’90’s. After teaching himself guitar at age 15, his natural talent, and curiosity, led him to learn bass, blues harmonica, banjo, keys, and drums. “Kick Me!” his first serious band, formed at the age of 19. They recorded a demo, and from that, and countless free gigs, his fans formed a foundation. Zak recorded a solo album in December of 2013 at Walker Studios in Gordonville, Tx, which was a collection of old and new songs he had written over time, and produced by an old friend, Tommy Walker. Together, they have released the 3 song single “DEMO” with a full electric sound, in fall of 2015. Zak traveled between states from 2013 to 2015 for work with Renaissance festivals. He used the opportunity to travel, to play as often as he could, gathering a few friends in different places, before settling in Jefferson City, MO. Missouri projects include Love-Seats, Propaganja, Rusted Satellites, Persephone’s Whiskey Lullaby, All of Us Together, Collin County Steel & Wire.
