I've written, produced and/or sang on thousands of songs for myself, other artists like MAX and Gnash, labels like Armada, Cloudkid and Soave, film/tv, etc. Experience in many genres like Pop, Dance, Indie, Electronic, Rock, R&B, Jazz and more.
Good music makes you feel something, so if it doesn't feel right, it's not right. I'm an experienced writer, singer, producer, and session musician. Sync placements on Netflix, Hulu, CBS, MTV, CW, Nickelodeon & WWE. Releases on Armada, Spinnin’, Th3rd Brain, Cloudkid, Soave, Future House Cloud, AVA.
I specialize in song writing and vocals but also offer the following add ons or services:
-Harmonies/Doubles
-Demo instrumental/beat (writing a song from scratch without a provided instrumental/beat)
-Arrangement/Production (creation of a release-ready instrumental/beat)

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

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Songwriting/topline work tends to be the most common but I also do a lot of vocal tracks and productions.
