About Me

I am Zak Kratzer, a student at Eastern Kentucky University, and Contemporary Christian Artist. I am also majoring in Broadcasting and Film Production. I started playing music with my first band "Insidious" a group of high schoolers from Cincinnati, OH. In 2005 I began developing my own solo work.

I play worship music for EKU's Baptist Campus Ministries and I play gospel with "The City Limits." I am currently working on a self produced album that should come out this year. I love to play small settings with my group of other like minded musicians. and I enjoy writing inspirational songs as well as songs of worship. SO check it out.
