check_circleVerifiedSo easy to work with, and such top quality vocals!
check_circleVerifiedZach is an incredible vocal coach!
Not only is he an amazing singer, but he’s also able to step into your shoes as a singer and work on the exact places improvement is needed, as if it were his own voice he were working on. His range, both as a singer and an artist will help you find the character your voice needs for a particular song.
Zach's music is also very melodic, and his production is top notch - a combination that is becoming more and more rare.
Couldn't recommend more!!
check_circleVerifiedZach is the real deal. Writing is honest and on point. Great lyrical ideas. Highly Recommend!!!!!
check_circleVerifiedIt had such a deep emotional impact. I loved everything — the delicate sound design around the vocals, the original and free-flowing movement of the melody, and the creative approach throughout. I honestly became a fan while working on this.

super nice to work with, quick, professional, great guy

Zach communicated well. U fortunately he demands to get paid (mark job complete) before delivery, which is unacceptable. This way he lines up with all the scammers in the businesss. The sound quality is probably fine ( although at the time I write this I haven’t received the delivery so let’s just pray he delivers) . As for the vocal quality: - I provided AI generated samples and they totally outclass his vocals on timing, emotion (!!) and feeling for the quality of the melody.

Zach is the ideal combination of artist (for the emotional impact) and technician (for logistics and detail). I very much appreciate his abilities and his temperament!

Continually impressed with Zach! He has a strong sensitivity to the underlying emotions of a song and has an ability deliver vocals that tap into those feelings and elevate them.

Interview with Zach Alwin
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Clients often think that they can get better results by giving me less direction and more freedom but the opposite ends up being true. As much as I try not to, I tend to play it safer when I don't know what a client wants.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Laptop, Interface, Mic, Keyboard, Guitar .... anything else is just really just icing on the cake.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Whatever it needs.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A new R&B solo project.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Do less but do it better.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: YES. They both have their place.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Having cool songs to be proud of at the end of the day.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Know what you want. If I'm confident in the direction I need to take a song, it allows me to focus more on making it kick ass.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: It’s all about workflow.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I like a lot of the classics & new talent as well. It’s important to have a map of where we’ve been to try to see where we’re going. Singers - Van Morrison, Ray Charles, Jeff Buckley, Khalid, Charlie Puth Writers - Fiona Apple, Bruno Mars, Ben Folds, Drake Producers - Porter Robinson, Max Martin, Jon Brion, Jeff Bhasker
