About Me

Originally from Saco, Maine, Zach Zaitlin recently moved to Portland, OR to pursue music full-time as a writer, performer, and teacher.Zach's influences, which include classical music, rock, experimental and more, combine in his songs to create music that is at times intimate and at others in-your-face. A solo set by Zach Zaitlin runs the gamut from ambient textures and memorable melodies to stabbing dissonances over driving beats. Zach's music strives for an honesty and directness that leaves a lasting impression on those who hear it.Zach also plays keyboards and sings in the Portland-based synth-pop/prog-bop/crazy-hot quintet Nosebleed Fantastique.
